Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured a mainstream school taxi service for Ibstock School. The requirement is for a taxi with four passenger seats, excluding the driver, transporting pupils from Orton on the Hill, Sheepy Magna and Market Bosworth to the school. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction requirement. The work is delivered in England, with the named route linking the three originating communities to Ibstock School. The council is the buying organisation. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations, making it relevant to local taxi firms, private-hire operators and other passenger transport providers able to provide the specified vehicle and school journey service.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed on 20 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Coalville Cabs LTD on 22 July 2026 for £14,400. The contract period runs from 25 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The underlying tender estimate was £75. The award is active, and the tender status is complete. Evaluation used the procurement process for the specified transport service; the published information identifies the route, vehicle capacity and service requirement but does not set out a separate quality or price weighting. This outcome shows that the council selected a large transport supplier for this individual school journey requirement.

For a supplier assessing future school transport work with Leicestershire County Council, this award demonstrates demand for a tightly defined taxi route serving named communities and a school, using a four-passenger vehicle. A credible competitor would need to operate a suitable passenger vehicle, provide dependable journeys between Orton on the Hill, Sheepy Magna, Market Bosworth and Ibstock School, and organise service delivery across the stated school-term requirement. Local knowledge of the route and the capacity to provide consistent school transport would be commercially relevant. The procurement was open to SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations, so smaller local operators may be well placed to compete when comparable requirements return.
