Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream school transport by taxi for primary-school pupils travelling from Odstone to Congerstone Primary School. The requirement was for an eight-passenger-seat taxi service, covering the journey between the named communities and school in England. It falls within passenger transport services and is a service contract rather than a goods or construction opportunity. Businesses relevant to this requirement include taxi operators and passenger transport providers able to provide a suitable eight-seat vehicle and carry out scheduled school journeys. The buyer is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall near Leicester, and the service is associated with its responsibility for transporting pupils to school.

This procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed at 09:00 on 3 August 2026, and the contract was awarded on 4 August 2026 to Coalville Cabs Ltd. The awarded contract value is £18,508.80 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The requirement was treated as a services procurement and the tender was marked complete. The published outcome identifies one active award and one supplier. The opportunity was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The available procurement information identifies the route, vehicle capacity and open procedure, but does not set out a separate scored evaluation breakdown.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement is a clear example of Leicestershire County Council’s demand for dedicated, small-scale school transport rather than general vehicle hire. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need an eight-seat passenger vehicle, the operational ability to provide a regular service between Odstone and Congerstone Primary School, and dependable scheduling around school attendance. The work is relevant to taxi firms and passenger transport operators with capacity for a single education route and the systems to manage punctual, safe pupil journeys. The council’s assessment that the requirement suits SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises indicates that smaller operators can be commercially relevant when they can meet the route and service demands.
