The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, intended to transport passengers in the East Midlands. This is a services contract managed by Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The procurement concerns a specific transport journey rather than a general fleet or network operation. It is relevant to taxi operators, private hire businesses and passenger transport providers able to provide driver-led journeys for council requirements. The council’s wider Dynamic Purchasing System covers passenger transport services, indicating that the requirement sits within its established arrangements for commissioning taxi and similar transport provision. The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. AZOOM was selected as the supplier. The awarded value is £36,504 including the stated GBP currency. The award date was 14 September 2026, with the contract running from 16 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 14 September 2026 at 9:00am. The procurement method is described as “Other”, with the mini-competition route providing the stated procedural context. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The opportunity was not divided into separately described lots, and the published outcome identifies one supplier for the requirement. For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates established council demand for dedicated taxi and passenger transport services supporting a named day-centre journey. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the operational ability to provide reliable, repeatable passenger journeys with appropriately licensed drivers and suitable passenger transport vehicles. The relevant market includes taxi firms, private hire operators and other businesses experienced in driver-led passenger services. Providers should be able to manage journey scheduling, dependable attendance and safe transport arrangements for council users, while delivering consistently across the East Midlands service area. Experience of responding to council transport requirements and participating in a Dynamic Purchasing System mini-competition would also be directly relevant. ## Notice This contract is for the provision of transport services - journey stated in the title of this notice.
