## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as “37131 PINDAR NURSERY”. The requirement is classified as taxi services, with an additional classification for hiring passenger transport vehicles with a driver. The service is intended for delivery in the East Midlands, with Leicester City Council as the buying organisation. This is a local authority transport requirement focused on carrying passengers rather than supplying vehicles without drivers or general goods. The procurement falls within the wider passenger transport services market and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The named requirement suggests a specific journey associated with Pindar Nursery, so relevant providers are passenger transport operators able to deliver the required journey reliably.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to CityRides LTD on 12 August 2026. The awarded value is £21,037. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The opportunity was run as a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services, rather than as a standalone open tender. Bids were due by 9am on 12 August 2026. The published process identifies taxi and driver-provided passenger transport as the basis of the requirement. The award is active and covers the full stated journey requirement, with CityRides LTD named as the successful supplier. The contract was evaluated through the council’s DPS mini-competition route.

This award demonstrates demand from Leicester City Council for dedicated passenger transport linked to a nursery journey, delivered through its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. Businesses well placed for similar requirements would be taxi operators or passenger transport providers with suitable vehicles, drivers and the operational capacity to provide dependable scheduled journeys. The council has identified the market as suitable for SMEs, so smaller local operators may be credible competitors where they can meet the service and journey requirements. Experience in regular passenger transport, reliable scheduling, driver management and safe customer service would strengthen a future response. Suppliers should also be prepared to participate in DPS mini-competitions, as this is the route the council used to appoint the current provider.
