## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey described in the contract title as “37341 GATEWAY”. The requirement is for taxi transport, with passenger vehicles and drivers, for delivery in the East Midlands. The council is the buyer, based in Leicester. The procurement is a specific journey contract rather than a general transport service requirement; the journey details are captured only in the title. This is a service contract, aimed at suppliers able to provide taxi and passenger transport for the council.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Hansom Taxis following a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The award date was 30 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £22,230. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The original tender value was also £22,230, and submissions were due by 30 September 2026. The published information does not set out lots or evaluation criteria, so the basis for comparing competing offers cannot be described. Leicester City Council selected one supplier for this journey requirement.

This award shows Leicester City Council buying a defined passenger journey through its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, using a mini-competition rather than a standalone open tender. For comparable future council requirements, a credible competitor would need to provide taxi services and suitable passenger vehicles with drivers, and be able to deliver journeys in the East Midlands. The council indicated that the opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller taxi operators may be relevant competitors. The successful supplier was a large business, demonstrating that the requirement was also within the reach of an established operator. The award provides a concrete example of the council’s transport demand and the route it used to select a supplier.
