Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured passenger transport services for Forest Way School under the requirement titled “SEN18700-SEN-TAXI-Forest Way School”. The service is categorised as transport services, excluding waste transport, and is a public service contract rather than a goods or construction requirement. The named delivery area is England, United Kingdom. The requirement is therefore relevant to businesses providing taxi, passenger transport or specialist school transport services, particularly those able to serve a county council and support journeys connected with Forest Way School. The buyer is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed on 15 July 2026 at 23:59. The contract was awarded to COALVILLE CABS LTD on 20 July 2026 for £22,880 GBP. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The published procurement value and awarded value are the same. The available outcome identifies one active award and one supplier. The requirement was classified as a services contract and was not marked as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The recorded procurement route was an open tender.

This award provides a clear example of Leicestershire County Council buying dedicated taxi-based passenger transport for a named school requirement. A competing supplier would need to operate a passenger transport or taxi service capable of delivering the required school journeys in England, with sufficient operational capacity for a council-managed contract of this scale. Coalville Cabs Ltd is the selected supplier, showing that a commercial taxi operator can meet this buyer’s requirement through an open procedure. Businesses studying similar council work should assess their ability to provide dependable school transport, manage the service as a public-sector supplier and prepare a compliant response to an open tender. The requirement also indicates a focused, single-school service rather than a broad transport network.
