Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport for Avanti Fields School. The requirement falls within transport services and concerns the delivery of school-related passenger transport in England. The named buyer is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The contract is a services opportunity rather than a goods or construction requirement. The procurement is specifically identified as route S522 for Avanti Fields School, so relevant businesses are those providing taxi or small-scale passenger transport services capable of supporting a school route. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that the buyer’s intended supplier pool was not limited to large transport operators.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed on 14 July 2026 at 3pm. The contract was awarded on 23 July 2026 to TAKE ME SERVICE LTD T/A ADT TAXIS for £7,292. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The tender record also shows an estimated procurement value of £37.98, while the award value is £7,292; these figures are reported separately because they represent different stages of the process. The tender was classified as a transport services requirement, with the award recorded as active. There was one stated requirement rather than a group of separately described lots, and the available procurement information does not set out a weighted evaluation basis.

For a supplier assessing future work from Leicestershire County Council, this award demonstrates a defined demand for contracted taxi transport serving a named school route. A credible competitor would need to provide dependable passenger transport for the specified school journey, organise the service across the required contract period, and operate at the scale of a single school transport route rather than a major network. The procurement was suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller local operators may be commercially relevant alongside established taxi businesses. The selected supplier’s success also shows that the council uses an open procedure for this type of transport requirement. Businesses with practical taxi operations, route-planning capacity and experience delivering regular school passenger services would be best placed to monitor comparable council requirements.
