Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured a passenger transport service: a mainstream taxi with four passenger seats for the journey from Upper Bruntingthorpe to Arnesby Primary School. The requirement falls within transport services and is a service contract intended to provide school travel. Delivery is in England, serving the specified route between the two named locations. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. This opportunity is relevant to taxi operators and other passenger transport providers able to provide a suitable four-seat vehicle and carry out scheduled school journeys reliably. Its focused route and modest vehicle requirement may suit an established local operator as well as a wider transport business with appropriate local coverage.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Bids were due by 3 September 2026 at 09:00. The contract was awarded on 4 August 2026 to A2B Taxis T/A M McMillan. The awarded value is £11,136 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The same supplier and value apply to the reported requirement, which covers the Upper Bruntingthorpe to Arnesby Primary School taxi service. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published outcome records the award as active.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined local requirement for regular school passenger transport using a four-seat taxi on a specific Leicestershire route. A credible future competitor would need access to a suitable passenger vehicle, dependable drivers and the operational capacity to provide consistent journeys between Upper Bruntingthorpe and Arnesby Primary School. Local knowledge of the route, punctual service, vehicle availability during school travel times and the ability to manage a small, dedicated transport requirement would be commercially relevant. The council marked the procurement as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller specialist operators can be an appropriate supplier type for this kind of work.
