The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, placing it within school and passenger transport rather than general vehicle hire. Delivery is in the East Midlands. The council is the buying organisation and the service is categorised as transport services. The procurement concerns a specific school transport journey, so relevant businesses are operators able to provide planned passenger journeys for a school setting, using suitable vehicles and drivers. The successful supplier is a commercial transport company rather than a voluntary, community or social enterprise. The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open-procedure mini competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The award was made on 21 August 2026 to HANSOM AIRPORT TAXIS LTD for £30,385. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 21 August 2026 at 9:00am. The opportunity was evaluated through the council’s stated open procedure. The award is active, and the procurement record identifies HANSOM AIRPORT TAXIS LTD as the selected supplier. The requirement is presented as one school transport journey rather than a set of separately identified lots. For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from Leicester City Council for contracted school passenger transport delivered through its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. A credible competitor for this requirement would need to provide taxi services or passenger transport vehicles with drivers, organise reliable journeys for a school, and operate at a scale comparable with an established commercial transport company. Familiarity with the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System and its mini-competition route would be important, since this is how the requirement was competed. The buyer’s decision also indicates that the relevant market includes larger commercial operators, so businesses should be able to demonstrate dependable operational capacity for scheduled passenger transport. ## Notice This contract is for the provision of transport services - journey stated in the title of this notice.
