Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport for four passengers travelling from Chilcote to Ivanhoe School, serving the Ashby schools area. The requirement falls within passenger transport services and is classified under CPV 60000000. The work is delivered in England for the council’s school transport needs. It is a service requirement centred on providing a suitable taxi and operating the specified journey between the collection point in Chilcote and Ivanhoe School. Businesses relevant to this requirement include taxi operators and passenger transport providers able to provide a vehicle with at least four passenger seats and carry out this school journey.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 20 July 2026 at 9:00am. Leicestershire County Council awarded the contract to Abbey Cars on 22 July 2026 for £9,600. The awarded contract period runs from 27 August 2026 to 13 July 2027. The tender had described a contract period from 25 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The award is active. Abbey Cars is the sole named supplier. The procurement was identified as a services requirement, with the tender estimated at £9,600. The opportunity was recorded as suitable for voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations.

Although this contract has been awarded, it provides a clear indication of Leicestershire County Council’s demand for dedicated school taxi transport between Chilcote and Ivanhoe School. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to operate a taxi or equivalent passenger vehicle with four available passenger seats and be able to provide the specified journey reliably throughout the school transport service period. Relevant providers include established local taxi firms, passenger transport businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations with suitable vehicles and operational capacity. The procurement also shows that the council uses an open procedure for this type of requirement and appoints an individual supplier for the service.
