Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured a mainstream taxi service providing four passenger seats for travel from Old Dalby to Long Clawson Primary School. The requirement falls within passenger transport services and is a service contract for transporting pupils on this school route. Delivery is in England, serving the journey between Old Dalby and Long Clawson Primary School. The buyer is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The opportunity is therefore relevant to taxi firms, school transport operators and other passenger transport businesses able to provide a suitable vehicle and operate a regular education transport route for the council.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. Bids were due by 28 July 2026 at 9.00am, and the contract was awarded on 28 July 2026 to Take Me Service Ltd T/A ADT Taxis. The awarded value is £11,516.16 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The completed process concerns one school taxi requirement, with the selected supplier responsible for delivering the service over the stated contract period.

This award provides a clear example of Leicestershire County Council’s demand for contracted school passenger transport on a defined local route. Businesses considering similar future council requirements would need practical taxi or passenger transport capability, a vehicle with at least four passenger seats, and the capacity to provide dependable journeys between Old Dalby and Long Clawson Primary School. The successful supplier profile shows that an established commercial taxi operator can meet this type of requirement. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable for participation, so the work is relevant beyond large transport companies. Relevant operators should be able to manage scheduled school journeys consistently and demonstrate a reliable local operating base.
