Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured a mainstream taxi service for transporting a pupil or passengers from Glen Pava to Brockington College. The requirement was for a vehicle with four passenger seats, delivered in England. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply, construction or general logistics contract. The council is the buying organisation and the route-specific service supports travel between the named origin and Brockington College. The procurement falls within transport services and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Businesses whose core work is local or regional passenger transport, school-related taxi services or scheduled vehicle operations would find the requirement most closely aligned with their existing activities.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed on 6 August 2026 at 9:00am. The contract was awarded to HC Mobility LTD on 13 August 2026 for £79,292.16, with a contract period from 26 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The tender’s stated total value was £7,292.16, so the published tender estimate and awarded value differ substantially. The award covers the four-seat mainstream taxi service between Glen Pava and Brockington College. The published outcome identifies one active award and one supplier. Evaluation was conducted through the open procedure, with the procurement classified as a services contract for transport services.

This award demonstrates established demand from Leicestershire County Council for a dedicated, route-based passenger transport service connecting Glen Pava with Brockington College. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to a suitable four-passenger-seat vehicle, the operational capacity to run the required journey consistently, and experience delivering passenger transport rather than only supplying vehicles. Local knowledge of the route and the ability to provide reliable day-to-day scheduling would be commercially relevant, although those requirements are not stated as formal selection conditions. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller operators and community transport organisations may be well placed where they can provide the necessary vehicle and service resilience.
