Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport for a primary-school route from Tilton on the Hill and Keythorpe to Tugby Church of England Primary School. The service provides a vehicle with four passenger seats for transporting pupils between these communities and the school in Leicestershire, England. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. The requirement is for a local taxi or private-hire operator able to provide regular school journeys on the specified route. It may suit small and medium-sized businesses, as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises. The buyer is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester.

The procurement has been completed following an open procedure. Bids had to be submitted by 10 August 2026 at 9:00am. The contract was awarded to Mountsorrel Taxis Ltd on 12 August 2026 for £11,328 including the stated contract value currency of GBP. The contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 16 July 2027. The award covers the four-seat mainstream taxi service from Tilton on the Hill and Keythorpe to Tugby Church of England Primary School. The tender was categorised as a services contract, with the estimated procurement value also recorded as £11,328. The successful supplier is Mountsorrel Taxis Ltd, based in Queniborough.

For a supplier that did not win, this award provides a clear example of Leicestershire County Council’s demand for small, route-specific pupil transport services. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to operate a taxi or private-hire service, provide at least four passenger seats, and reliably cover the Tilton on the Hill and Keythorpe journey to Tugby Church of England Primary School. Local knowledge of the villages, school access arrangements and the practical demands of repeated school travel would be commercially relevant. The opportunity is suited to operators able to commit a vehicle and driver capacity to a defined education route, rather than providers focused only on occasional or larger-scale passenger transport.
