Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured a mainstream taxi service for The Market Bosworth School. The requirement is transport for pupils travelling from Barlestone, Newbold Verdon and Osbaston to the school, using a taxi with five passenger seats, excluding the driver. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. Delivery is in England, with the route centred on the named Leicestershire villages and The Market Bosworth School. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to local taxi operators, school transport providers and other passenger transport businesses able to provide a five-seat vehicle and operate the specified school journey.

The procurement reached completion through an open procedure. Bids were due by 7 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 11 August 2026 to GENERATION CABS LTD for £15,129.60. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 8 July 2027. The tender had an estimated value of £78.80. The award is active and covers the taxi service for the Market Bosworth School route. The buyer is Leicestershire County Council. The published outcome identifies one awarded supplier and one contract period. The process was evaluated through the open tender route, with the requirement focused on delivering the specified passenger transport service between the named villages and the school.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined local market for scheduled school transport using a small-capacity taxi. A credible competitor for a future requirement from Leicestershire County Council would need to provide a vehicle with at least five passenger seats, excluding the driver, and reliably cover journeys from Barlestone, Newbold Verdon and Osbaston to The Market Bosworth School. Local taxi firms and school transport operators are particularly well placed where they can organise dependable daily passenger movements, manage the stated route and work within a school-year service pattern. The opportunity is also explicitly suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller operators with appropriate vehicle capacity and operational cover can be relevant competitors.
