Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream school transport by taxi for The Roundhill Academy. The service is an eight-passenger-seat vehicle, excluding the driver, transporting pupils between Scraptoft and Barkby Thorpe and the academy. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply, construction or general transport contract. The delivery area is in England, with the route beginning in Scraptoft and Barkby Thorpe and ending at The Roundhill Academy. The requirement sits within the transport services category and is intended to provide a dedicated school journey for pupils travelling to the academy. Businesses operating suitable passenger vehicles and able to provide reliable school-route transport would find the subject matter relevant.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed at 2pm on 21 July 2026. The contract was awarded to ALI Taxis LTD on 28 July 2026 for £16,128. The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The tender record also gives an estimated procurement value of £84, while the awarded value is £16,128; these are separate published figures and should not be treated as interchangeable. The contract is classified as a services procurement and the tender was marked complete. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award shows a defined local need for mainstream school transport linking Scraptoft and Barkby Thorpe with The Roundhill Academy. A credible competing supplier would need access to a taxi or passenger vehicle with at least eight passenger seats, excluding the driver, and the operational capacity to provide dependable scheduled journeys for pupils. Familiarity with school transport, route planning, punctual collections and safeguarding-conscious service delivery would strengthen a future offer. Local operators may be well placed because the route is concentrated around Leicester and the academy. The procurement route was an open procedure, so businesses able to meet the requirement should monitor similar council transport work and prepare evidence of reliable vehicle provision and service capacity.
