Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured passenger transport by taxi for pupils travelling to Kibworth Mead Academy. The requirement is for an eight-passenger-seat taxi, excluding the driver, serving Billesdon, Little Street, Illston on the Hill, Three Gates, Shangton and Kibworth Harcourt, with journeys to the academy. This is a scheduled education transport service rather than a general vehicle supply contract, classified as transport services (CPV 60000000). The work is delivered in England, with the named Leicestershire-area settlements forming the service route. Businesses relevant to this requirement include taxi operators and passenger transport providers able to provide an eight-seat vehicle and carry out regular school journeys for the council.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. Bids closed at 9:00am on 21 July 2026. Leicestershire County Council awarded the contract to Premier Taxis Leicester Ltd on 28 July 2026 for £21,504. The contract runs from 26 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The procurement was evaluated as a single passenger transport requirement, with the recorded tender value of £112 and the awarded value stated separately above. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Premier Taxis Leicester Ltd is the selected supplier, and the award is active.

This award shows a defined local demand for contracted school transport serving Kibworth Mead Academy and surrounding villages. A credible future competitor would need an eight-passenger-seat taxi, excluding the driver, and the operational capacity to provide dependable, repeated journeys between the listed settlements and the academy. Local knowledge of Billesdon, Little Street, Illston on the Hill, Three Gates, Shangton and Kibworth Harcourt would support route planning and reliable service delivery. The requirement is accessible to smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so independent taxi operators and local passenger transport firms may be well placed to compete. Experience in organised education transport and the ability to maintain consistent vehicle availability would strengthen a supplier’s position.
