Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured a mainstream taxi service for The Hinckley School. The requirement is for a five-seat taxi to provide transport services, with delivery in England. The council is the buying organisation and the school is the service destination. This is a passenger transport opportunity rather than a vehicle supply, construction or general logistics contract. The scope is described as a single transport requirement associated with the school, suitable for businesses that can provide regular five-seat taxi services. The procurement falls within the broad transport services category. It may be relevant to local taxi operators, school transport providers and passenger transport businesses with suitable vehicles and the operational ability to serve The Hinckley School reliably.

This procurement has been awarded following a completed open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at 8:30am, and the award was made on 24 August 2026. BELGRAVE CARS was selected as the supplier for an awarded value of £8,755. The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The tender’s stated estimated value was £45.60. The requirement was treated as a services contract and was presented as one transport requirement rather than separate lots. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Evaluation details are not stated beyond the use of an open procedure.

The award demonstrates a defined requirement from Leicestershire County Council for school-related passenger transport using a five-seat taxi. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need access to suitable five-seat vehicles, the ability to provide dependable regular journeys for The Hinckley School, and sufficient local operating capacity to meet the service reliably throughout the school contract. The stated suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that the requirement can be relevant beyond large transport groups. Taxi operators and small passenger transport providers can use this award as evidence of the buyer’s route to market and the type of vehicle and service provision it has previously purchased.
