Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured a passenger transport service: a mainstream taxi with four passenger seats for travel from Rothley to Rothley Church of England Academy. The requirement is a local school transport journey rather than vehicle supply or wider public transport operations. It falls within transport services and is classified as a services procurement. The council is the buying organisation and the work is delivered in Rothley, England. The specification indicates a single taxi journey requirement connecting the named origin and destination, suitable for an operator able to provide a four-seat passenger vehicle and carry out the required school travel service reliably.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The contract was awarded to Premier Taxis Leicester Ltd on 22 July 2026 for £8,640. The awarded contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 10 October 2026. The tender period ended at 9:00am on 21 July 2026. The tender records an estimated value of £8,640, in line with the awarded value. The wider stated contract period is 24 August to 18 October 2026, while the award records the awarded service period as ending on 10 October. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Leicestershire County Council for contracted taxi transport between Rothley and Rothley Church of England Academy, with capacity for four passengers. Suppliers considering future requirements from this buyer would need to operate a suitable passenger taxi, cover the Rothley area and provide dependable transport for a school route. Local taxi companies and smaller transport operators are particularly relevant because the procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The successful supplier was Premier Taxis Leicester Ltd, showing that an established taxi operator can meet this type of council transport requirement.
