Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured a passenger transport service: a mainstream taxi with four passenger seats for travel from Burton on the Wolds to De Lisle College. The requirement is a school journey rather than general transport, with the service intended to carry pupils between the named village and college. The procurement is categorised as transport services and falls within the wider services category. Delivery is in England, with the route linking Burton on the Wolds and De Lisle College. The buyer is Leicestershire County Council, based in Leicester. The named service is specific to one route and vehicle capacity, so it is most relevant to taxi operators and passenger transport businesses able to provide a four-seat vehicle for a regular education journey.

This procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. The award was made to HC Mobility Ltd on 13 August 2026 for £9,596.16 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 6 August 2026 at 9:00am. The procurement had an estimated value of £9,596.16, and the awarded value is the same. The requirement was presented as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, with HC Mobility Ltd identified as the selected supplier. The process concerned one complete requirement for the named taxi service and route.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for contracted school transport on a fixed route between Burton on the Wolds and De Lisle College. A credible competitor would need to provide a mainstream taxi with four passenger seats and operate a dependable passenger transport service suited to scheduled education travel. Taxi operators, community transport organisations and smaller passenger transport firms may be relevant, since the opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The buyer’s use of an open procedure shows that this type of requirement is competed through a broad public tender route. Experience delivering regular school or college transport would help a future supplier evidence operational suitability.
