Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured a mainstream school taxi service for Brookvale Groby Learning Campus. The requirement is a four-seat taxi carrying pupils from Bagworth, Newbold Verdon and Desford to the school. It is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000, rather than a goods supply or construction project. The contracting authority is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. Delivery takes place on the routes between the three named Leicestershire communities and Brookvale Groby Learning Campus. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so it is relevant to local taxi operators and other community-focused passenger transport providers with suitable vehicles and operating capacity.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. Bids were due by 9:00am on 21 July 2026. Coalville Cabs Ltd was awarded the contract on 21 July 2026 for £12,480. The contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The original tender value was stated as £65, while the awarded value is £12,480; these are reported separately and should not be treated as equivalent figures. The award is active and covers the school taxi requirement as a single service. The published information identifies the successful supplier but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or additional award criteria. The process therefore demonstrates demand being routed through an open competition for a defined school transport service.

This award is commercially relevant to taxi and specialist school transport operators serving Leicestershire. A credible competitor would need to provide a four-seat vehicle and reliably cover scheduled journeys from Bagworth, Newbold Verdon and Desford to Brookvale Groby Learning Campus. Local knowledge of these communities, dependable driver and vehicle availability, and the operational capacity to maintain regular school travel would be important. The requirement is also identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller or community-based operators can be credible participants when they can meet the service requirements. Coalville Cabs Ltd’s selection shows that the council uses an open route to appoint a passenger transport provider for this type of school journey, giving comparable operators a clear example of the service and delivery model to prepare for when similar demand returns.
