## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for the journey identified as Ashfield Academy. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, making this relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and other passenger transport businesses. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with the council as the buyer. The procurement sits within the council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System and concerns a specific school-related transport journey rather than a general transport framework. Businesses serving Leicester and the surrounding East Midlands area, with suitable vehicles and drivers for passenger journeys, are the closest fit. The opportunity is classified as services and is suitable for both small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It was run as an open procedure through a mini competition under Leicester City Council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. The tender closed on 3 September 2026 at 9.00am. Adam's transport was awarded the contract on 3 September 2026 for £46,788, with the awarded contract period running from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The wider tender record gives a planned contract period from 10 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The award covers the Ashfield Academy journey. No separate lots or award criteria are identified in the published procurement information, so the available record does not explain the scoring basis beyond the mini-competition process.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need to provide taxi or passenger transport services with drivers for a defined school journey in the East Midlands. The awarded supplier was a large transport business, showing that the council has used an established operator for this requirement, while the procurement route is also expressly suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Relevant firms should be able to operate appropriate passenger vehicles, provide reliable driver-led journeys and engage with Leicester City Council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System and its mini-competition process. Taxi firms considering council work can use this procurement as evidence of demand for individual school transport journeys rather than only larger, bundled transport contracts.
