## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for the journey identified as Milgate. The requirement is primarily taxi services, with hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver also covered. Delivery is in the East Midlands. This is a council transport service rather than a vehicle purchase or infrastructure project, and is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and passenger transport businesses able to provide journeys for the council. The buyer is Leicester City Council, based at City Hall in Leicester. The procurement concerns one stated journey and forms part of the council’s wider Passenger Transport Services requirements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 8 September 2026 following a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The contract was awarded to SKYLINE TAXIS for £14,508. The contract period runs from 9 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 8 September 2026 at 8:00am. The award is active. The recorded procurement category is services, and the stated award route was a mini-competition under the existing dynamic purchasing system. Leicester City Council’s published suitability assessment marks this opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award shows that Leicester City Council buys defined taxi and passenger transport journeys through competitions under its Passenger Transport Services dynamic purchasing system. A credible future competitor would need to provide taxi or passenger transport vehicles with drivers and be able to deliver the specified journey reliably in the East Midlands. The council’s assessment indicates that the requirement is aimed at suppliers with capacity beyond the SME category, so established operators with sufficient vehicles, drivers and operational resilience are better placed than small or community-based providers. Experience of council passenger transport work, dependable scheduling and the ability to respond to individual journey competitions would strengthen a supplier’s position when similar requirements are considered.
