## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as Imperial Avenue Infant School. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, for journeys delivered in the East Midlands. It is a services contract intended to transport passengers to or from the school. The council is the buying organisation, based in Leicester. The procurement relates to a specific school journey rather than a wider passenger transport service across multiple locations. The named service categories indicate that relevant suppliers include taxi operators and businesses providing driven passenger vehicles. The requirement was handled by Leicester City Council through its passenger transport purchasing arrangements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. It used an open procedure. The contract was awarded on 26 August 2026 to CityRides Leicester Ltd for £46,800. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender’s stated closing time was 9:00am on 26 August 2026. The award is active. Leicester City Council marked the opportunity as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The selected supplier is the only supplier named in the award, and the published procurement information identifies no separate lots or alternative awards.

This award provides a clear indication that Leicester City Council uses its passenger transport purchasing system to place specific school-journey requirements with established transport operators. A credible future competitor would need to provide taxi services or passenger vehicles with drivers, organise reliable school transport operations and work across the East Midlands. The selected provider is recorded as a large organisation, while the council marked this requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises; businesses should therefore assess whether their operational scale and capacity match that profile. Suppliers with the ability to service council-arranged school journeys through the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System would be best placed to compete when comparable requirements return to market.
