Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport for S403 at Iveshead School. The requirement is a passenger transport service, using taxis to support school travel rather than the supply of vehicles or general goods. The contracting authority is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. Delivery is described as taking place in England, United Kingdom. This opportunity is therefore relevant to taxi firms, private-hire operators and other passenger transport businesses able to provide reliable school transport services. Its focus is a specific school transport requirement, so suppliers whose core work is unrelated goods, construction or non-passenger services are unlikely to be relevant.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure. The tender deadline was 23 July 2026 at 1pm. The tender was valued at £48, while the active award to Coalville Cabs Ltd is £9,120. The award date was 24 July 2026. The awarded contract runs from 27 July 2026 to 6 July 2027; the tender’s stated contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 6 July 2027. Coalville Cabs Ltd was the selected supplier. The evaluation category was transport services, and the procurement was classified as a services contract. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of Leicestershire County Council’s demand for dedicated taxi-based school transport at Iveshead School. Businesses best placed for a future requirement of this kind would be taxi or private-hire operators with the vehicles, drivers, scheduling systems and operational reliability needed for regular school journeys. A credible competitor should be able to demonstrate safe, dependable passenger transport delivery and the capacity to maintain service for the full requirement, rather than occasional ad hoc journeys. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so smaller operators and community-focused transport organisations may be relevant competitors when comparable school transport is next considered.
