Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport for Swinford Primary School. The requirement is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000, for journeys associated with the school. The buyer is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. Delivery is in England, United Kingdom. The service falls within the public sector services category and concerns a specific school transport route or requirement identified as S476. The awarded supplier is a taxi operator, indicating that the work is suited to businesses able to provide reliable passenger transport for the named school requirement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, widening its relevance beyond large transport providers.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids were due by 9 August 2026 at 9:00am, and the award was made on 10 August 2026. ATHWAL TAXI LTD was awarded the contract for £22,080. The contract runs from 26 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The tender carried an estimated value of £115, while the awarded value is £22,080. The procurement was evaluated through the open procedure; the available record does not state separate quality or price weightings. The tender status is complete and the award status is active. The contract concerns one identified mainstream taxi transport requirement for Swinford Primary School rather than a multi-lot arrangement.

This award shows that Leicestershire County Council buys dedicated school-related taxi transport from specialist local passenger transport providers. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need an appropriately licensed taxi or private-hire operation, suitable vehicles, dependable availability across the school service period and the operational capacity to provide consistent journeys for a named school route. The successful supplier, ATHWAL TAXI LTD, is a large transport business, but the procurement was also marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Providers should therefore be able to demonstrate safe, reliable passenger transport delivery, effective scheduling and the ability to meet the council’s service requirements for the full contract term.
