Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport for Iveshead School. The requirement is classified as transport services, covering the provision of taxi services associated with a school journey or route. The work is delivered in England, for the council as buyer. This is a passenger transport services opportunity rather than a vehicle supply, construction or general logistics contract. Businesses relevant to this requirement include taxi operators and passenger transport providers able to organise and deliver regular school transport reliably. The named requirement is specific to Iveshead School, so suppliers assessing their fit should consider their ability to operate in the school’s area and support the council’s local transport needs.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids were due by 23 July 2026 at 13:00. The original estimated value was £65 GBP, while the active award to Drive 4 It Taxis was £12,350 GBP. The award date was 24 July 2026. The awarded contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 6 July 2027. Leicestershire County Council awarded the contract to Drive 4 It Taxis. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. One active award is recorded, with no separate lots or additional award outcomes identified.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined local demand for mainstream taxi transport supporting a named school. Businesses well placed for a future requirement of this type would be established taxi or passenger transport operators with dependable vehicles, drivers and day-to-day scheduling capacity. Credibility would come from demonstrating safe, consistent school-route operations, the ability to meet planned journeys throughout the school term, and resilience when vehicles or drivers are unavailable. Local knowledge of the delivery area would be commercially useful, as would experience working with a public-sector buyer and meeting operational requirements for regular passenger transport. The opportunity is suitable for smaller enterprises and community or social organisations as well as larger operators.
