Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport services for Long Field Academy. The requirement is a passenger transport service associated with the academy, rather than the purchase of vehicles or other goods. The work is categorised as transport services, under CPV 60000000, and is to be delivered in England. The council is the buying organisation. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. Businesses operating taxi or passenger transport services, including those able to provide regular school-related transport, are the most directly relevant potential suppliers for this type of requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through an open procedure. The tender deadline was 28 July 2026 at 9:00 am, and the award was made on 29 July 2026. T & H Solutions was selected as supplier, with an awarded value of £13,300. The tender’s stated value was £70. The awarded contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 6 July 2027. The record identifies one requirement rather than separate lots. The published outcome therefore shows a completed council procurement for a defined academy transport service, with the award value and contract period providing the clearest indication of the scale and timing of the arrangement.

This award is relevant to taxi operators and passenger transport businesses with the capacity to provide a dedicated service for an academy over an extended school-year period. The buyer has demonstrated demand for a defined mainstream transport requirement and used an open procedure, so suppliers should be able to present a compliant service offer through a competitive public procurement route. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations were considered suitable, widening the potential supplier base. A credible future supplier would need dependable operational capacity, suitable vehicles and drivers, and the organisation to deliver regular, reliable school-related journeys for the council’s education service.
