Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured a passenger transport service for Burbage Junior School. The requirement was for a taxi with four passenger seats, excluding the driver, transporting pupils from Burbage and Sapcote to the school. This is a local school transport service within Leicestershire, classified as transport services. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The requirement is primarily relevant to taxi operators, school transport providers and other passenger transport businesses able to provide a suitable vehicle and reliable scheduled journeys for school pupils. It may also suit small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement was completed through an open procedure. Bids were due by 3 August 2026 at 1pm. The initial stated value was £58, while the contract was awarded for £11,136. Leicestershire County Council awarded the contract to A1 LEICESTER TAXI LTD on 6 August 2026. The contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 7 July 2027. The award is active and covers the four-seat taxi service between Burbage and Sapcote and Burbage Junior School. This outcome identifies the supplier selected for the requirement and the council’s chosen route for procuring this type of local school transport service.

This award demonstrates demand for dedicated, small-capacity school transport serving defined local routes. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to operate a four-passenger-seat taxi, provide dependable pupil journeys from Burbage and Sapcote to Burbage Junior School, and manage regular school-day transport safely and consistently. Relevant strengths would include experience of school or safeguarding-sensitive passenger transport, reliable driver availability, suitable vehicle capacity and condition, and the operational resilience to maintain the service throughout the school year. The council’s identification of SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises as suitable indicates that the requirement can be delivered by focused local operators as well as larger transport businesses.
