Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport using a five-seat vehicle for The Hinckley School. The requirement falls within transport services and concerns carrying pupils to or from the school as part of the council’s school transport provision. Delivery is in England, with Hinckley identified through the school requirement and the successful taxi operator’s address. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle purchase, construction project or general haulage contract. The buyer is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that the requirement could be delivered by a local or specialist passenger transport business.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at 8:30am, and the award was made on 24 August 2026. A 12-month contract, running from 26 August 2026 to 9 July 2027, was awarded to A 2 Z TAXIS. The awarded value is £13,440 including the stated GBP currency. The tender’s upper estimated value was £70 GBP. The published outcome records one active award and one supplier. The procurement information identifies transport services as the classification and taxi transport for five seats as the requirement. The available data does not state separate lots or a detailed scoring breakdown.

For a taxi, private hire or school transport operator, this award demonstrates a defined local requirement for a five-seat vehicle serving a school in the Hinckley area. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need the operational capacity to provide a reliable mainstream taxi service for pupil journeys, maintain a suitable five-seat vehicle and meet the practical demands of regular school transport. Local knowledge of Hinckley and dependable daily availability would support delivery. The council’s stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller operators and community-focused providers can be relevant competitors, provided they can organise consistent passenger transport at the required scale and comply with the tender’s detailed requirements when the service returns to market.
