## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey identified as “37201 – DSP Unit of Oaklands School”. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, for transporting passengers connected with Oaklands School. The work is categorised as services and is to be delivered in England. The council is the buying organisation. This is a school transport requirement rather than a general vehicle supply contract, so it is relevant to taxi operators, passenger transport providers and firms able to provide appropriately driven vehicles for scheduled journeys. The procurement sits within the council’s wider Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, indicating that the buyer uses this route for individual transport requirements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The contract was awarded to Hansom Airport Taxis on 21 August 2026, at a value of £22,218. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 21 August 2026 at 9:00 am. The requirement was identified as a service procurement for taxi and driver-provided passenger transport. The recorded procurement method detail is “Other”. The award is active, and the awarded supplier is Hansom Airport Taxis. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates a defined need from Leicester City Council for school-related passenger transport delivered through taxi and driver-provided vehicle services. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this type would be established taxi firms or passenger transport operators with the vehicles, licensed drivers, scheduling capability and operational capacity to provide reliable journeys for school passengers. Experience of working with public bodies, managing recurring or route-based transport, and meeting safeguarding, passenger welfare and service reliability expectations would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller local operators may be credible competitors where they can demonstrate sufficient capacity, dependable delivery and compliance with the council’s passenger transport arrangements.
