Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport for Ratby Primary. The requirement is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000, covering delivery in England. It concerns transporting pupils to and from the school rather than supplying vehicles or general transport infrastructure. The council is the buying organisation and the service is categorised as a contract for services. The named requirement, S211-Mainstream Taxi- Ratby Primary, indicates a school-specific route or transport arrangement. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are taxi operators and passenger transport providers able to deliver scheduled school transport for Leicestershire County Council. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 15 September 2026 at 14:00, and the award was made on 16 September 2026. EVEREST TAXIS LTD was selected for an awarded value of £9,024. The contract runs from 21 September 2026 to 9 July 2027. The tender carried an estimated value of £47, although the awarded value is the relevant outcome for this completed process. The procurement was assessed as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs. The available process information identifies transport services as the subject and an open procedure as the route, but does not set out separate lots or detailed quality, price or technical weighting in the published outcome.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Leicestershire County Council for contracted taxi transport serving a primary school, with delivery continuing across an academic-year period. It is relevant to taxi firms, private-hire operators and passenger transport businesses with the vehicles, drivers, safeguarding arrangements and operational reliability needed for scheduled pupil journeys. The council’s stated suitability for SMEs and VCSEs indicates that smaller local operators and community transport organisations can be credible participants when this type of requirement is next considered. A competing supplier would need to show dependable daily service, capacity to maintain the route throughout the school year, appropriate passenger-safety controls and the ability to manage council contract administration. The successful supplier was a large taxi company, providing evidence that established taxi operations also compete for this requirement.
