## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport by taxi for the journey identified as Ellesmere College Aylestone. The requirement is a transport service, rather than the purchase of vehicles. The journey is associated with the East Midlands. The procurement description identifies it as one journey under the Council’s passenger transport arrangements. This gives taxi operators and passenger transport providers a clear indication of the service required and the destination named for this journey.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Hansom Taxis following a mini-competition under the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The award date was 16 October 2026. The awarded value is £25,717. The award records a contract period from 26 October 2026 to 31 July 2027; the tender information gives a service period from 9 November 2026 to 31 July 2027. The competition’s submission deadline was 16 October 2026. This was a single journey requirement; the published details do not identify separate lots or set out an evaluation basis.

This award demonstrates Leicester City Council’s demand for taxi transport on a defined journey to Ellesmere College Aylestone, procured through a mini-competition within its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. A supplier seeking to compete when this specific requirement returns would need to provide taxi services suited to the journey and be able to deliver passenger transport to the named destination. The award is a practical reference point for the type of journey and contract scale the Council has purchased. It may be most relevant to taxi firms and passenger transport operators whose service coverage includes the East Midlands and who can meet the Council’s DPS participation requirements.
