## Summary

Leicester City Council procured transport services for the journey identified as Millgate School, under its passenger transport requirements. The service is classified as taxi services, including the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with Leicester City Council as the buying organisation. The requirement concerns passenger travel rather than vehicle supply or general fleet hire, so relevant suppliers are taxi operators and other providers able to transport passengers with drivers for a school-related journey. The awarded supplier is Hansom Airport Taxis. The service sits within the council’s wider Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services, indicating a requirement managed through an established taxi and passenger transport purchasing route.

The procurement has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The award was made to Hansom Airport Taxis on 4 September 2026 for £16,146. The contract runs from 9 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender had a submission deadline of 4 September 2026 at 9:00am, and the process is complete. It was treated as a services procurement and the award was made through the council’s DPS mini-competition route. The published outcome identifies one awarded supplier and one requirement, with the contract value stated as £16,146. The procurement was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations.

For suppliers assessing future school transport requirements from Leicester City Council, this award demonstrates demand for dedicated passenger transport on a Millgate School journey through the council’s passenger transport DPS. A credible competitor would need to operate taxi or passenger vehicles with drivers and deliver reliable, regular school-related journeys in the East Midlands. Relevant capability is likely to include suitable licensed vehicles, appropriately authorised drivers, dependable scheduling and the operational capacity to meet school travel commitments throughout the contract term. The successful supplier’s position also shows that taxi operators can compete through a DPS mini-competition rather than only through a standalone open tender. Larger established operators may be better placed for requirements of this scale, particularly where continuity, vehicle availability and service resilience are important.
