## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for a journey to St Andrews. The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, covering delivery in the East Midlands. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The service is a specific journey rather than a broad transport framework, and sits within the council’s passenger transport purchasing arrangements. The requirement is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and passenger transport providers able to provide vehicles with drivers for council-organised journeys. The awarded supplier is a transport business operating as SKYLINE TAXIS, indicating that the service is delivered through a commercial passenger transport operator rather than directly by the council.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 27 August 2026 following a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The stated procurement method is an open procedure. The contract was awarded to SKYLINE TAXIS for £7,332. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 1 January 2027. The award is active. The tender was evaluated as a services requirement for taxi and driver-provided passenger transport. The tender record states that tenders were no longer being sought at the point of award. The opportunity was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, which indicates that the buyer’s stated suitability assessment favoured larger established providers.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need to operate a reliable taxi or private-hire passenger transport service, with suitable vehicles and drivers capable of completing a defined council journey. Providers should be able to respond through Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System and compete in its mini-competitions for passenger transport services. The award demonstrates demand for a clearly scoped, journey-specific service rather than only long-term network operations. A business seeking comparable council work would benefit from established operational capacity, dependable dispatch and journey management, and experience meeting public-sector service requirements. The buyer’s assessment that the requirement was unsuitable for SMEs suggests that scale, resilience and the ability to support council purchasing processes would be important competitive factors.
