## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a specified journey under its passenger transport programme. The requirement is primarily for taxi services, with associated hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with the council based in Leicester. The work is categorised as services and concerns the transport of passengers rather than vehicle supply, fleet maintenance or general logistics. It is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire vehicle businesses and passenger transport providers able to carry out individual journeys for a public-sector customer. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so organisations of those types may be well placed to provide this kind of service.

This procurement is complete and was awarded on 26 August 2026 following a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. It used an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 26 August 2026 at 9:00am. The tender value was £10,530. VICTORIA Cabs was awarded the contract for £10,530. The tender states a contract period from 3 September 2026 to 26 November 2026, while the award records the awarded period as 28 August 2026 to 26 November 2026. The award is active. The evaluation basis is not described beyond the use of the open procedure and the mini-competition route. There was one award and one supplier.

For a supplier that did not win, this award is useful evidence of Leicester City Council’s demand for journey-specific taxi and passenger transport services. A credible future competitor would need to operate suitable vehicles with drivers, organise reliable passenger journeys in the East Midlands and meet the practical service expectations of a council transport programme. Experience delivering taxi or private-hire passenger services would support the case, particularly where the business can demonstrate dependable scheduling, driver availability and capacity for public-sector journeys. The route to market is significant: suppliers need to understand and qualify for the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System, then respond effectively to mini-competitions for individual requirements. The opportunity is explicitly suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so smaller operators can assess this route alongside larger taxi businesses.
