Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport for Redmoor Academy. The requirement falls within transport services and concerns the provision of passenger journeys associated with the school, delivered in England. The named buyer is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The procurement is categorised as a services contract and is identified as “S36 – Mainstream Taxi – Redmoor Academy”. The requirement is therefore relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and passenger transport providers able to organise and deliver regular school-related journeys, particularly those serving Leicestershire and the surrounding area.

The procurement has been completed following an open procedure. Bids were due by 18 August 2026 at 8:30am, and the contract was awarded on 18 August 2026 to A1 TAXI BOOKING SERVICE LTD. The awarded value is £9,216 including the stated currency of pounds sterling. The contract runs from 25 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The tender record also gives a value of £48. The award is active and covers the Redmoor Academy mainstream taxi requirement. The published outcome confirms that one supplier was selected for the contract.

This outcome is useful market intelligence for taxi operators and passenger transport businesses targeting Leicestershire County Council’s school transport requirements. A credible future competitor would need to provide dependable taxi or private-hire operations, coordinate journeys for a school-related service and maintain sufficient capacity throughout the academic contract period. The award also shows that the council uses an open procedure for this type of requirement and that participation is considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Firms that can demonstrate reliable day-to-day delivery, suitable vehicles, driver availability and effective booking administration would be well placed when comparable Redmoor Academy transport needs return to market.
