The requirement falls within taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. It concerns transporting passengers for a school-related journey, with delivery in the East Midlands. The council is the buying organisation and the service sits within its wider passenger transport requirements. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Businesses operating taxi services, chauffeured passenger vehicles or similar school transport operations would find the subject matter relevant, particularly those able to provide reliable passenger transport for a defined school journey in the East Midlands. The procurement has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The council used an open procedure. The tender deadline was 7 August 2026 at 9:00am, and the award was made on 7 August 2026. Aizel Cabs was selected for a contract valued at £18,837. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one requirement. The award is active and the overall tender is complete. The procurement was evaluated through the mini-competition process under the council’s passenger transport DPS, with the awarded value and service requirement forming the recorded basis of the outcome. For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of Leicester City Council’s recurring demand for defined school transport journeys delivered by taxi or passenger vehicles with drivers. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need operational capacity for scheduled passenger transport, dependable vehicles and drivers, and the ability to deliver a consistent service over an extended contract period. The council’s use of a Dynamic Purchasing System and mini-competitions is commercially important: suppliers need to qualify for and engage with that route, respond competitively to individual journeys, and demonstrate that they can manage council passenger transport requirements. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable participants. ## Notice This contract is for the provision of transport services - journey stated in the title of this notice.
