Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport for Humphrey Perkins School. The service provides a four-passenger-seat taxi, excluding the driver, for travel from Ibstock to the school in Loughborough. This is a passenger transport service, within the wider transport services category. Delivery is in England, with the stated journey linking Ibstock and Loughborough. The requirement is education transport for pupils travelling to and from school, rather than general vehicle hire or freight services. It is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire vehicle businesses and passenger transport providers able to provide a suitable four-seat vehicle and operate the specified route. The council is the public-sector buyer and the named supplier is Coalville Cabs Ltd.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed on 24 July 2026 at 14:30. The contract was awarded on 29 July 2026 to Coalville Cabs Ltd for £13,363.20, inclusive of the stated award value in GBP. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The tender carried an estimated value of £69.60, also in GBP. The award is active. The published information identifies the service and open procedure but does not set out separate lots or detailed quality and price weightings. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The awarded supplier is a large organisation.

For a supplier assessing this buyer’s future school transport requirements, this award demonstrates demand for a dedicated taxi service carrying up to four passengers, excluding the driver, on a defined Ibstock-to-Loughborough journey. A credible competitor would need dependable passenger transport operations, access to an appropriate taxi or private-hire vehicle, and the capacity to provide consistent school travel between the relevant locations. Local knowledge of Ibstock, Loughborough and the route to Humphrey Perkins School would support reliable delivery. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller operators and community transport organisations may be capable of competing alongside larger taxi businesses. Evidence of safe, punctual and dependable pupil transport would strengthen a future response, alongside sufficient operational resilience for the full service period.
