The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, covering delivery in the East Midlands. It sits within the Council’s passenger transport requirements and is intended to provide transport for the school journey identified in the procurement title. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The service category is passenger transport operated by taxis or other suitable vehicles with drivers. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that the service model can accommodate suppliers from those organisation types. The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services, using an open procedure. The award date was 13 August 2026. CityRides Leicester Ltd was awarded the contract at £28,080. The contract period runs from 28 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender’s stated submission deadline was 13 August 2026 at 9am. The contract covers one transport requirement for the Woodfield School journey, delivered in the East Midlands. The evaluation basis is reflected in the competitive mini-competition route, with the selected supplier and awarded value now recorded. For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates recurring demand from Leicester City Council for contracted school-related passenger transport. A credible competitor would need to provide reliable taxi or passenger vehicle services with drivers, organise journeys for a school requirement and operate effectively across the East Midlands. The relevant route into this buyer’s work is participation in its Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services, followed by competition for individual requirements. Taxi firms and other passenger transport operators should therefore be prepared to meet the Council’s DPS conditions, respond to mini-competitions and demonstrate dependable operational capacity for scheduled school journeys. SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises were identified as suitable organisation types. ## Notice This contract is for the provision of transport services - journey stated in the title of this notice.
