This contract was awarded following a Mini Competition under the Council's Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) PAN3059 for Passenger Transport Services. The awarded contract will commence on 25th August 2026 and is set to conclude on 31st July 2028. The procurement process is classified under the CPV code 60120000, focusing on taxi services, with an additional classification for the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver.

This contract presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in taxi services, particularly those with the capability to provide passenger transport vehicles with drivers. While the contract has been awarded to hansom airport taxis, the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) remains a viable avenue for other transport service providers to explore future opportunities with Leicester City Council. This opportunity is primarily suited for larger firms due to the Council's unsuitability criteria for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Businesses seeking to grow in the East Midlands region by collaborating on public transport services are encouraged to engage with the Council's DPS for potential future procurements.
