## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey identified as Gateway College, under the requirement titled “37188 - GATEWAY COLLEGE”. The service is classified as taxi services, with an additional classification covering the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. Delivery is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The buyer is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The requirement concerns the transport of passengers rather than the supply of vehicles alone, and is therefore relevant to taxi operators, private hire firms and other passenger transport providers with drivers and vehicles suitable for the specified journey. The procurement falls within the council’s wider Passenger Transport Services arrangements and was run for a defined transport requirement associated with Gateway College.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The tender deadline was 3 September 2026 at 9:00am, and the award was made on 3 September 2026. AZOOM TAXIS was selected as the supplier for £20,124. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The procurement method is recorded as “Other”, within the council’s DPS route. The requirement was categorised as a services contract. The contract was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. No separate lots or additional award criteria are recorded.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Leicester City Council for regular passenger transport connected with Gateway College, delivered in the East Midlands through a mini-competition under its Passenger Transport Services DPS. Businesses best placed for a comparable requirement would be established taxi or private hire operators able to provide passenger vehicles with drivers for an identified journey, organise reliable day-to-day service delivery and operate within the council’s DPS arrangements. The recorded assessment was unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, while the appointed supplier is classified as large. Competitors should therefore be prepared to demonstrate sufficient operational capacity, dependable vehicles and drivers, and the ability to manage a council transport contract of this type.
