Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process managed by Leicestershire County Council involved an open procedure for transport services, specifically a taxi service with a capacity of seven passengers, excluding the driver, for routes between Cotes, Walton on the Wolds, Six Hills, and Burton on the Wolds Primary School. This process falls under the industry category of transport services (excluding waste transport) and took place in the United Kingdom, specifically England. The award stage was reached on 29th July 2026, following the tender period that concluded on 24th July 2026. The contract is set to commence on 24th August 2026 and will end by 9th July 2027.

This tender presents an opportunity for service providers within the transport sector, particularly those capable of offering small-capacity taxi services tailored for educational institutions. Suitable businesses include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), highlighting a significant growth potential for entities focused on localized passenger transport services. The successful supplier, P&P Cabs LTD, demonstrates the demand for established large-scale operators, yet the open method suggests accessibility for a variety of service providers. The contract's details suggest a competitive landscape with opportunities for businesses aiming to expand their service offerings in the educational transport niche within the Leicestershire area.
