## Summary

Leicester City Council procured home-to-school passenger transport for a specified journey, using taxi services and passenger vehicles with drivers. The requirement is local authority school transport delivered in the East Midlands. The title and description do not identify the journey’s route, pupils served or service arrangements, so the scope can only be characterised as transport for a particular home-to-school journey. The buyer is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to SKYLINE TAXIS. The award was made on 14 October 2026, following a mini-competition under the Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The awarded value is £13,369. The award states a contract period from 26 October 2026 to 9 July 2027; the tender section gives a start date of 16 October 2026 and the same end date. The tender deadline was 14 October 2026 at 09:00. This was a services procurement for one specified journey. The available information does not describe separate lots, eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria.

This award shows Leicester City Council buying a defined home-to-school journey through a mini-competition under its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. Taxi firms and other passenger transport operators with the ability to provide vehicles with drivers are the relevant competitors when this requirement returns to the market. A credible supplier would need to show it can reliably deliver the particular school journey required by the Council; the route and operational requirements are specific to the contract and should inform any future assessment. The selected supplier is identified as a large business, while the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award therefore indicates a buyer requirement delivered by a larger operator, rather than a stated opportunity tailored to smaller or community providers.
