## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey associated with Netherhall Mead Academy. The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, supporting travel to or from the academy. Delivery is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The procurement sits within the council’s passenger transport services requirements and concerns a specific academy journey rather than a general transport operation. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are taxi operators and other passenger transport providers able to provide driver-led vehicle services for academy travel in the East Midlands.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. ONE EXPRESS was selected on 6 August 2026 for £16,731 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 6 August 2026 at 09:00. The award is recorded as active. The opportunity was evaluated through the council’s DPS mini-competition route for this passenger transport requirement; the available award information identifies the selected supplier and contract value but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown.

For a transport business, this award demonstrates a defined council requirement for driver-led passenger travel linked to an academy journey, delivered over a substantial contract period. The selected supplier, ONE EXPRESS, is recorded as a large organisation, indicating that the requirement can suit providers with the operational capacity to commit vehicles and drivers reliably for scheduled education transport. Credible competitors would need experience in taxi or passenger transport services, suitable vehicles, dependable drivers and the capacity to deliver a council-managed journey consistently. Familiarity with Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System and its mini-competition process would also be commercially relevant when preparing for comparable passenger transport requirements from this buyer.
