Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured a mainstream taxi service for six passenger seats, transporting pupils from Melton Mowbray and Sileby to The Roundhill Academy. The requirement is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply, school facilities management or general haulage. The work is located in England and centres on the specified collection areas and school destination. It is suitable for businesses that operate licensed taxi or private-hire vehicles and can provide regular school transport with capacity for six passengers. The council is the purchasing organisation. This is a single, defined route requirement under the transport services category, covering the provision of the journey service for the named school and locations.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The tender closed on 21 July 2026 at 9:00am, and the award was made on 22 July 2026. PS Taxi Ltd was selected as supplier for an awarded value of £15,033.60. The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £15,033.60. The procurement was evaluated as an open competition for passenger transport services, with the requirement identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active and covers the complete S634 taxi service between Melton Mowbray, Sileby and The Roundhill Academy.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement provides a clear example of Leicestershire County Council’s demand for contracted school transport on a defined route. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need a suitable six-passenger taxi, the legal permissions and insurance required for paid passenger transport, and the operational capacity to provide reliable, repeated journeys between the named communities and school. Strong route planning, dependable vehicle availability, punctuality and safeguarding arrangements would be commercially important when demonstrating that pupils can be transported consistently. The opportunity was expressly suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller local operators with the right vehicle and school-transport capability may be well placed to compete through an open procedure.
