Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport for Greystoke Primary School. The requirement is a transport service for school-related journeys, under the transport services category, with delivery in England. The named buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The procurement concerns one school transport requirement rather than a wider passenger transport network or general taxi service. It is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire vehicle businesses and specialist school transport providers able to provide reliable journeys for pupils attending Greystoke Primary School. The requirement is classified under CPV 60000000 for transport services, excluding waste transport.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids were due by 7 August 2026 at 4pm, and the contract was awarded on 11 August 2026 to GENERATION CABS LTD. The awarded value is £8,601 including the published currency of GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The tender’s stated contract period ran from 24 August 2026 to 7 July 2027. The procurement was evaluated through the open procedure for a services contract. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, with GENERATION CABS LTD recorded as the selected supplier.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award demonstrates a defined local-authority demand for mainstream taxi provision serving an individual primary school. A credible future competitor would need to operate suitable taxi or private-hire capacity, provide dependable scheduled school journeys, and manage day-to-day transport delivery for pupils. The requirement is suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller local operators and community transport organisations may be well placed to compete where they can meet the operational requirements. Experience of school transport, dependable vehicle availability, driver management and working with a county council would strengthen a supplier’s position when a comparable requirement from Leicestershire County Council returns to market.
