## Summary

Leicester City Council bought taxi transport for a journey identified in the procurement title as “MILGATE”. The requirement is for a passenger journey, rather than a general taxi-service arrangement, and falls within taxi services and passenger transport with a driver. Delivery is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The buyer is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The procurement description says the journey is specified in the title, but provides no further route or passenger details. The work is therefore most relevant to operators able to provide the particular taxi journey required by the Council, rather than suppliers whose services do not cover this type of passenger transport.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to HANSOM AIRPORT TAXIS LTD following a mini-competition under the Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The award date was 22 October 2026. The awarded value is £29,192. The contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender used an open procedure, with a submission deadline of 22 October 2026 at 09:00. This is a single journey requirement, with no separate lots recorded. The data does not give detailed evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions. The stated award is active, and no cancellation or termination is reported.

This award shows Leicester City Council’s demand for a taxi operator able to deliver a defined passenger journey in the East Midlands through its passenger transport purchasing system. The selected supplier, HANSOM AIRPORT TAXIS LTD, is recorded as a large business, while the opportunity was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. A credible competitor when this specific requirement returns would need to demonstrate operational capacity to provide the journey reliably, with suitable vehicles and drivers, and to compete through the Council’s dynamic purchasing system and mini-competition route. The requirement is narrow: taxi firms focused on this Council’s journey-based passenger transport are the relevant competitors; suppliers without that operating capability are less well matched.
