Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured a mainstream school transport service: a four-seat taxi journey from Croxton Kerrial, Harby and Goadby Marwood to John Ferneley College. The requirement is classified as transport services and sits within the services category. Delivery is in England, serving the listed villages and the college route. The council is the buying organisation. The service is intended to provide regular transport for pupils travelling to the college, using a small vehicle rather than a larger bus or coach. This is a focused local passenger transport requirement for a taxi operator able to cover the specified rural collection points and deliver students reliably to John Ferneley College.

The procurement reached completion and was awarded through an open procedure. Bids had to be submitted by 20 July 2026 at 9:00am. Leicestershire County Council awarded the contract to PS Taxis LTD on 21 July 2026 for £86.30. The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 6 July 2027. The procurement is a single requirement rather than a stated lot-based competition. Its evaluation basis was the open procurement process, with the service requirement focused on the specified four-seat taxi journey. The award is active, and the recorded contract period covers the school transport service from the start of the academic provision through early July 2027.

This award shows a defined local requirement for small-vehicle school transport between rural villages and John Ferneley College. A credible competitor would need access to a four-seat taxi, the operational capacity to collect passengers from Croxton Kerrial, Harby and Goadby Marwood, and the reliability needed for regular school journeys. Local route knowledge, dependable scheduling and the ability to provide consistent passenger transport over a school-year service period would be relevant strengths. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so a smaller local operator could be well placed to compete when this buyer next reviews a comparable requirement. The successful supplier was PS Taxis LTD.
