The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, covering school-related passenger transport in England. The council is the buying organisation and the service is linked to Leicester. This is a service contract rather than a goods supply or construction project. The scope is suitable for businesses that provide taxis, private-hire vehicles or other passenger transport with drivers, particularly those able to undertake a defined school journey for a public-sector customer. The requirement sits within the council’s wider passenger transport services arrangements. The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. City Rides Leicester Ltd was awarded the contract on 8 September 2026 for £23,365 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender’s estimated value is also £23,365. The process used the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System route rather than a standalone open tender. The published information identifies taxi services and passenger transport vehicles with drivers as the service categories; it does not set out separate lots or an evaluation weighting. The award is active. This award demonstrates demand from Leicester City Council for individually specified passenger transport journeys connected with a school, delivered by taxi or passenger transport operators with drivers. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the operational ability to provide reliable, punctual journeys for school passengers, allocate suitable vehicles and drivers, and manage delivery against a council-issued route or journey specification. The successful route was a mini-competition within the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need to understand and qualify for that purchasing arrangement. The opportunity is relevant to taxi firms, private-hire operators and passenger transport businesses, including SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. ## Notice This contract is for the provision of transport services - journey stated in the title of this notice. It has been awarded following a Mini Competition under Council's Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) PAN3059 - Passenger Transport Services.
