Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport for Burton on the Wolds Primary School. The service covers journeys from Cotes, Walton on the Wolds and Six Hills to the school, using a taxi with seven passenger seats, excluding the driver. This is a local passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply or general haulage. The work is classified as transport services and falls within the services category. Delivery is in England, with the named route linking the three villages to Burton on the Wolds Primary School. The requirement is relevant to taxi operators, school transport providers and passenger transport businesses able to provide a seven-seat vehicle and operate reliably across these locations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed on 24 July 2026 at 3pm, and the contract was awarded on 29 July 2026 to P&P Cabs LTD. The awarded value is £18,048 including the published currency of GBP. The contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The tender’s stated value was £94 GBP, while the award value is £18,048 GBP; these are separate figures and should not be treated as interchangeable. The process was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. No lots were identified, and the published procurement information does not set out a separate evaluation weighting.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award demonstrates a defined local demand for scheduled school taxi transport between Cotes, Walton on the Wolds, Six Hills and Burton on the Wolds Primary School. A credible competitor for this requirement would need access to a suitable seven-passenger taxi, excluding the driver, and the operational capacity to provide dependable school journeys along the specified route. Local knowledge, reliable driver availability, vehicle readiness and the ability to manage regular passenger transport would be commercially relevant. The procurement route was an open procedure, and the requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that smaller local operators with appropriate transport capability can compete for this type of council work.
