Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport services for Catmose College. The requirement is a passenger transport service, classified under transport services, intended to support routine travel associated with the college. Delivery is in England, United Kingdom. The named buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The procurement is categorised as a service and concerns a single transport requirement rather than a wider fleet, vehicle supply or infrastructure project. It is therefore relevant to taxi operators and passenger transport businesses able to provide dependable scheduled journeys for a school or college environment in the area covered by the requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The tender deadline was 22 July 2026 at 9:00am, and the contract was awarded on 23 July 2026. Premier Taxis Leicester Ltd was selected for an awarded value of £15,744. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 15 July 2027. The tender’s stated value was £82 GBP, while the award value is £15,744 GBP; these are reported separately because they represent different stages of the procurement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The available information does not set out weighted evaluation criteria or separate lots.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Leicestershire County Council for mainstream taxi transport connected with Catmose College, delivered over an academic-year-style service period. It is commercially relevant to established taxi firms and passenger transport operators serving Leicester and the surrounding area, particularly businesses able to manage reliable, repeat journeys for a college and meet public-sector operating expectations. Smaller operators were considered suitable for the requirement, so a future competitor would not necessarily need the scale of a major transport company. Credibility would come from demonstrable taxi-service capacity, dependable driver and vehicle availability, operational resilience and experience providing consistent scheduled passenger transport for an education setting.
