Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream school transport by taxi for Ibstock School. The requirement is an eight-seater taxi service carrying pupils from Coalville, Whitwick and Hugglescote to Ibstock School. It is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction requirement, and falls within the transport services category (CPV 60000000). The contracting authority is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall, Leicester Road, Glenfield, Leicester. The service covers journeys connecting the named communities with Ibstock School in Leicestershire. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it relevant to local taxi operators and other community transport providers with suitable vehicles and operating capability.

The procurement has been completed following an open procedure. The tender closed at 12:00 on 20 July 2026, and the contract was awarded to Coalville Cabs LTD on 21 July 2026. The awarded value is £16,128 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 25 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The original tender value is recorded as £84 GBP. Coalville Cabs LTD is the sole named awarded supplier. The award is active, and the tender status is complete. The published requirement concerned one eight-seater taxi service for the school route from Coalville, Whitwick and Hugglescote to Ibstock School.

For a supplier assessing future demand, this award demonstrates a defined requirement for regular school passenger transport linking local communities with Ibstock School. A credible competitor would need to operate an eight-seater taxi and be able to provide dependable journeys from Coalville, Whitwick and Hugglescote to the school. Local knowledge of these routes and the practical capacity to support mainstream school transport would be directly relevant. The procurement was run through an open procedure, so businesses of different types could compete, including SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Taxi firms and community transport operators serving the Leicestershire area can use this requirement as a clear reference point for the buyer’s service need and expected operating scale.
