The requirement covers the provision of transport for passengers and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with the council based in Leicester. This is a council transport requirement rather than a general vehicle supply contract: relevant businesses are taxi operators and passenger transport providers able to provide journeys with a driver. The procurement relates to Leicester City Council’s passenger transport needs and was run through its Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The procurement has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System, PAN3059, for Passenger Transport Services. The contract was awarded to SKYLINE TAXIS on 7 August 2026 for £15,678 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 7 August 2026 at 9:00 am. The procurement is complete and the award is active. The requirement was assessed through the council’s DPS mini-competition route. The published classification covers taxi services and passenger transport vehicles with drivers. The council identified the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. This award demonstrates established demand from Leicester City Council for contracted passenger journeys linked to Barley Croft, using its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. Businesses best placed for comparable requirements are taxi firms and passenger transport operators with the vehicles, drivers and operational arrangements needed to deliver passenger journeys reliably in the East Midlands. Competitors would need to understand and use the council’s DPS mini-competition route, respond to journey-specific requirements and sustain service delivery throughout a contract of this type. The council’s assessment marked the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that comparable opportunities may favour providers with the scale and resources to meet its transport requirements. ## Notice This contract is for the provision of transport services - journey stated in the title of this notice.
