## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for the journey identified as “West Gate”. The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger vehicles with drivers, delivered in the East Midlands. The stated scope is transport services for this journey; no further route or passenger details are included. This is a council transport requirement rather than a general vehicle hire contract, so it is most relevant to taxi and passenger transport operators able to provide the specified journey. The buyer is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Hansom Taxis. Leicester City Council used a mini-competition under its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. The award date was 15 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The awarded value is £19,878. The competition deadline was 15 October 2026 at 09:00. The available procurement details identify the journey and transport service but do not set out the evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements for this particular competition. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable for the opportunity.

This award shows that Leicester City Council buys individual journey-based taxi and passenger transport services through mini-competitions within its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. The contract was awarded to a taxi operator, indicating that a business able to provide taxi services and vehicles with drivers is relevant to this requirement. The journey-specific scope makes local operational capability and the ability to fulfil the required transport service important to competing credibly when this buyer’s requirement next comes to market. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable, so the opportunity is not limited to large operators. Suppliers should be prepared to compete through the council’s DPS route and demonstrate that they can deliver the specified journey; the award data does not identify additional accreditation, fleet or experience conditions.
