## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as “37254 - OAKWOOD”. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. Delivery is in the East Midlands, serving the Council’s transport needs. This is a services contract rather than a goods or construction opportunity. The procurement was run by Leicester City Council, based in Leicester, and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement sits within the Council’s wider Passenger Transport Services dynamic purchasing system, which is used to source taxi and other passenger transport provision. Businesses operating taxi or private-hire passenger transport services in the East Midlands are the most directly relevant suppliers for this type of requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 7 September 2026 to Hansom Taxis. The awarded contract value is £40,716. The contract period runs from 8 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. It followed a mini competition under the Council’s dynamic purchasing system for Passenger Transport Services and used an open procedure. The tender’s estimated value was also £40,716. The recorded procurement category is services. The published information identifies the award and selected supplier but does not set out separate lots or detailed scoring criteria. The outcome is an active award to Hansom Taxis, with the contract covering the Oakwood journey stated in the requirement title.

This award shows Leicester City Council has an established requirement for taxi and driver-provided passenger transport in the East Midlands, with an individual journey sourced through its Passenger Transport Services dynamic purchasing system. A credible future competitor would need to operate suitable taxi or private-hire vehicles, provide drivers and deliver reliable scheduled passenger journeys in the Council’s area. The opportunity is relevant to small and medium-sized firms as well as larger transport operators. Suppliers should be able to engage with a dynamic purchasing system and respond to mini competitions rather than relying only on conventional one-off tender exercises. The successful supplier profile demonstrates that a dedicated taxi operator can meet this type of Council requirement.
