## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as Oakwood. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, with delivery in the East Midlands. This is a local authority transport requirement, suited to operators able to provide passenger journeys using licensed taxis or other suitable vehicles with drivers. The named buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based at City Hall in Leicester. The procurement is categorised as services and concerns a specific journey rather than a broad passenger transport network or general fleet contract. Businesses considering comparable requirements should focus on reliable, compliant transport operations serving Leicester and the surrounding East Midlands area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It was run as a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System PAN3059 for Passenger Transport Services. The contract was awarded to Hansom Taxis on 2 September 2026 for £32,643 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 2 September 2026 at 9:00am. The award is active. The procurement used the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System route and concerned one stated transport journey. The published outcome identifies Hansom Taxis as the selected supplier. The available procurement information does not set out a separate quality, price or other evaluation weighting.

For other taxi and private-hire operators, this award demonstrates that Leicester City Council buys defined passenger journeys through its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System rather than only through large conventional tenders. A credible future supplier would need the operational capacity to provide dependable journeys for the Council, suitable passenger vehicles, appropriately licensed drivers and robust day-to-day scheduling and service management. Familiarity with local routes and the ability to serve Leicester and the wider East Midlands would be relevant. The awarded supplier is recorded as a large organisation, while the opportunity was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Businesses targeting similar Council work should therefore assess their scale, compliance arrangements and ability to participate in a DPS mini-competition.
