The requirement is categorised as taxi services, including the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. Delivery is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The council is the buying organisation. The procurement sits within the council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System and concerns a specific transport journey rather than a general vehicle supply contract. Businesses relevant to this opportunity would therefore include taxi operators and passenger transport providers able to provide driver-led journeys for the council’s education-related transport requirements. The scope is service-based, requiring the provision and operation of suitable passenger transport rather than the manufacture, sale or maintenance of vehicles. The procurement is complete and was awarded on 13 August 2026 to Hansom Taxis Leicester Ltd. The awarded value is £37,428. The contract period runs from 9 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award followed a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services, using an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 13 August 2026 at 9:00am. The opportunity was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The recorded award is active, with one supplier selected. The requirement was classified under taxi services and passenger transport vehicle hire with driver, and the contract relates to the Homefield College journey identified in the procurement title. This award indicates recurring council demand for contracted taxi and driver-led passenger transport serving Homefield College. A credible competitor for similar requirements would need to operate passenger vehicles with drivers and deliver reliable, planned journeys in the East Midlands. Strong operational control would be important, including dependable driver availability, suitable vehicle provision, route and timetable management, and the ability to meet council service expectations consistently across the contract period. Taxi firms and other passenger transport providers may be well placed, particularly smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises, because the procurement expressly identified those organisation types as suitable. Experience of public-sector passenger transport, education-related journeys, safeguarding, and dependable communication with the council would strengthen a future qualification and evaluation response. ## Notice This contract is for the provision of transport services - journey stated in the title of this notice.
