## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as “37271 – WOLFDALE SCHOOL”. The requirement is a school transport journey, delivered in the East Midlands, using taxi services and passenger vehicles with drivers. The work falls within the services category and is intended to provide transport for passengers associated with Wolfdale School. The council is the buying organisation. The requirement sits within the council’s wider Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, which covers taxi and other driver-provided passenger transport services. Businesses operating school transport, taxi or private-hire services, and passenger transport operators with suitable vehicles and drivers would recognise this as the relevant market. The procurement concerns one stated journey rather than a general transport service across all council operations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, reference PAN3059. The contract was awarded to ONE EXPRESS on 11 September 2026 for £45,630. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 11 September 2026 at 9:00am. The published procurement method is recorded as “Other”, with the mini-competition route providing the stated procedure. Leicester City Council awarded the contract to one supplier. The award is active and the contract covers the Wolfdale School transport journey described in the requirement. At award, the council was no longer seeking tenders for this procurement.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined council requirement for organised school transport using taxis or passenger vehicles with drivers. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to operate appropriate passenger vehicles, provide reliable drivers and deliver a consistent school journey service over a sustained contract period. Experience in school or public-sector passenger transport would help demonstrate understanding of safeguarding, punctuality, route reliability and communication with the council, although those specific qualifications are not stated as award requirements here. The opportunity also shows that Leicester City Council uses a Dynamic Purchasing System and mini-competitions to source individual passenger transport journeys. Firms seeking similar council work would therefore need to understand and participate through that purchasing route, with capacity to respond to journey-specific requirements.
