## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey serving City of Leicester College. The requirement is categorised as taxi services, with associated hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. Delivery is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The work is for the council and concerns the provision of transport for passengers rather than vehicle supply alone. It is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and passenger transport providers able to provide driver-led journeys for an education setting. The procurement was structured as a service requirement suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that a smaller operator could be an appropriate type of supplier for this council requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The award date was 11 September 2026, and the submission deadline for the mini-competition was 11 September 2026 at 9am. Hansom Taxis was awarded the contract for £31,356 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The award covers the transport requirement for City of Leicester College. The procurement used the council’s DPS route rather than a standalone open tender. The recorded procurement category is services, and the tender status is complete, with the award recorded as active.

This award shows that Leicester City Council uses its Passenger Transport Services DPS to place defined, driver-led journeys with taxi and passenger transport operators. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need suitable licensed vehicles, appropriately qualified and vetted drivers, reliable scheduling and the operational capacity to provide regular education-related transport throughout the service period. Local knowledge of Leicester and the wider East Midlands would support dependable journey planning, while robust arrangements for passenger safety, safeguarding, vehicle maintenance, contingency cover and communication with the council would strengthen its position. The opportunity is particularly relevant to SMEs already operating taxi or private-hire fleets and able to participate in DPS mini-competitions for individual council transport requirements.
