## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for King Richards Nursery and School, covering the journey identified by the requirement. The work is taxi transport and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, rather than the supply of vehicles alone. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with the council’s Passenger and Transport Services team based in Leicester. The requirement sits within the council’s wider Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System and was run as a mini competition under that system. It is relevant to taxi operators, private hire businesses and other passenger transport providers able to carry school passengers with drivers and vehicles suitable for the required journey.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 10 September 2026 to CityRides Leicester Ltd. The award value is £33,907 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. It was conducted as an open procedure and as a mini competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The requirement was evaluated through the council’s tender process, with the procurement classified as services. At award stage, tenders were no longer being sought. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No separate lots or multiple awards are recorded.

This award provides a clear example of Leicester City Council’s demand for contracted school transport through its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. Competitors would need to operate a taxi or passenger transport service with drivers, provide vehicles appropriate for school journeys, and manage reliable delivery for a defined education route in the East Midlands. The route to market is significant: suppliers need to understand how to participate in the council’s DPS and respond to mini competitions rather than relying only on traditional one-off tenders. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises were identified as suitable organisation types, so a credible local operator with suitable vehicles, drivers and operational capacity could be well placed for comparable requirements.
