Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, conducted by Leicestershire County Council, involves the provision of mainstream taxi services on a route from Orton-On-The-Hill to Ibstock Community College. This contract, which falls under the transport services industry category, was managed using an open procedure. The tender's finalisation occurred on 8th December 2025, with the award actively granted to AA Taxis on the same day. The contract period is scheduled from 10th December 2025 through 10th July 2026, providing services in England, United Kingdom. This process is part of the services procurement by the local council, aimed at enhancing transport connectivity for educational purposes.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those with capabilities in small-scale transport routes suitable for smaller contractual values, such as the £9,938.90 amount awarded. The procurement process's open nature increases accessibility for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), although in this case, a large company has been successful. Businesses looking to expand within the public sector by offering bespoke transport solutions could find this type of tender particularly fitting, leveraging competency in direct service delivery to niche community routes.
