## Summary

Leicester City Council commissioned passenger transport services for Imperial Avenue Infant School, covering the journey identified by the contract title. The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, rather than vehicle supply alone. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with Leicester City Council as the buying organisation. The service falls within public-sector passenger transport and is specifically suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The named requirement concerns transport associated with an infant school, so relevant suppliers are taxi operators and passenger transport businesses able to provide driver-led journeys for a school-related service. The buyer is based at City Hall in Leicester.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The contract was awarded to Hansom Taxis on 18 September 2026 for £30,420 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The procurement used the Council’s DPS route, with the requirement categorised as services and the stated method detail recorded as “Other”. The award is active. The contract covers one identified school transport requirement; the published award records one supplier and does not set out a separate lot structure. The award information does not state an evaluation weighting or scoring basis.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for driver-led taxi or passenger vehicle services supporting an infant school journey in Leicester and the wider East Midlands. A credible future competitor would need to operate suitable passenger vehicles, provide qualified and reliable drivers, and organise repeatable school transport journeys to the required standard. The opportunity is relevant to taxi firms, private-hire operators and other passenger transport businesses able to deliver individual school routes rather than general fleet hire without drivers. The Council’s use of a Dynamic Purchasing System and mini-competition shows that suppliers need to understand this route and respond to specific transport requirements efficiently. The stated SME suitability makes the requirement relevant to smaller local and regional operators with sufficient operational capacity.
