Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport for Humphrey Perkins school. The requirement is a passenger transport service, covering the movement of pupils rather than the supply of vehicles or transport infrastructure. Delivery is in England. The procurement sits within general transport services and is a service contract. The named requirement is “S719-Mainstream Taxi – Humphrey Perkins”, indicating a dedicated school transport arrangement associated with the Humphrey Perkins site. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are licensed taxi operators, school transport providers and passenger transport companies able to provide reliable journeys for pupils. The council is the buying organisation and is based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant beyond large national transport operators.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The award was made to Premier Taxis Leicester Ltd on 16 July 2026, for £10,752. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 14 July 2026 at 12:00, before the award decision. The procurement was classified as transport services and had an estimated tender value of £56. The published outcome identifies one active award and one supplier. The contract therefore records a defined school transport requirement for the Humphrey Perkins service, with the selected supplier responsible for delivering the taxi transport arrangement throughout the stated contract period. No separate lot structure or additional award is recorded.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement provides clear evidence that Leicestershire County Council buys dedicated taxi transport for mainstream school pupils through an open competitive procedure. A credible future competitor would need to operate a suitable passenger transport service, provide dependable school journeys and demonstrate the practical capacity to cover the Humphrey Perkins requirement. Relevant businesses include established local taxi firms, specialist school transport operators and smaller passenger transport providers. The council’s stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that participation is not limited to large transport groups. Firms considering similar work should be able to show that they can organise consistent pupil transport, maintain suitable vehicles and drivers, and manage the operational reliability expected for a school-based service.
