## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as “37126 - Keyham Lodge School”. The requirement is primarily for taxi services, with associated hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. The work supports transport to or from Keyham Lodge School and is delivered in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. This is a service contract bought by Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The requirement sits within the Council’s wider Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System and was run as a mini competition under that system. It is relevant to operators providing taxi services or chauffeured passenger transport for education-related journeys.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 11 August 2026 to Smart Plus Taxis. The award value is £16,263 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 11 August 2026 at 09:00. The requirement was competed through an open procedure, specifically a mini competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The award is active. The published outcome identifies Smart Plus Taxis as the selected supplier. The procurement was classified as a services contract, covering taxi services and passenger transport vehicles provided with drivers.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for reliable taxi or chauffeur-driven passenger transport serving a school journey in the East Midlands. A credible future competitor would need to operate suitable passenger vehicles, provide qualified and dependable drivers, and manage scheduled school transport consistently. Experience of education or pupil transport would help demonstrate understanding of safeguarding, punctuality, passenger care and coordination with the Council. Suppliers would also need to meet the Council’s requirements for participation in its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System and compete through its mini-competition route. The recorded outcome indicates that the buyer selected an established large-scale taxi operator rather than an SME or voluntary, community or social enterprise.
