Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured a mainstream taxi service for school transport: one vehicle with four passenger seats carrying pupils from Stoke Golding to St Mary’s Church of England Primary School in Hinckley. The requirement falls within transport services and is a service contract rather than a vehicle supply or infrastructure project. Delivery is centred on the Stoke Golding–Hinckley route in Leicestershire, with the council as the buying organisation. The service is intended for regular school journeys during the specified school-year period, so relevant suppliers are taxi, private-hire or specialist passenger-transport operators able to provide a suitable vehicle and dependable scheduled journeys for primary-school pupils.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed on 17 August 2026 at 9:00am, and the award was made on 18 August 2026. Lloyds Taxi was selected for £11,520 including the stated currency, with the contract running from 24 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The requirement was treated as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Evaluation was conducted through the open competition for this single school transport requirement. The award is active, and the published outcome identifies Lloyds Taxi as the successful supplier. The contract covers the four-seat mainstream taxi service between Stoke Golding and St Mary’s CofE Primary School in Hinckley.

This award demonstrates a defined local demand for small-capacity, scheduled school transport on a specific rural-to-town route. A credible future competitor would need to operate a suitable four-passenger-seat taxi, provide reliable daily journeys aligned with school requirements, and manage safe, consistent transport for primary-school pupils. Local knowledge of Stoke Golding, Hinckley and the surrounding road network would be useful, as would the operational resilience to cover the route throughout the school year and respond to routine service issues. The opportunity is well matched to smaller taxi businesses, community transport providers and social enterprises able to combine dependable vehicle availability with practical school-run experience and clear safeguarding, passenger-care and service-management arrangements.
