Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport services for Croxton Kerrial C of E Primary School. The requirement is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000, supporting travel to and from the school in England. The buyer is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. This is a service contract focused on providing taxi transport for mainstream school pupils rather than supplying vehicles or carrying out construction works. It is relevant to taxi operators, passenger transport companies and other providers able to deliver school transport services in the area and manage the practical requirements of regular school travel.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 1 September 2026 at 08:30. The tender value was stated as £114, while the active award was made on 1 September 2026 for £21,888 to TOPPS EXPRESS LIMITED. The awarded contract period runs from 9 September 2026 to 9 July 2027. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The published information identifies one school taxi transport requirement and evaluates suppliers through the open procedure. The outcome shows that Leicestershire County Council selected a large supplier for this requirement.

This award is useful market evidence for taxi and passenger transport businesses targeting Leicestershire County Council’s school transport requirements. A credible future competitor would need to provide reliable mainstream taxi services for a primary school, maintain sufficient operational capacity for regular school journeys, and meet the practical demands of transporting pupils safely and consistently. The opportunity is relevant to both commercial transport operators and voluntary, community or social enterprises, although the selected supplier was a large business. Providers with established local operations, suitable vehicles, experienced drivers and the ability to manage recurring school travel would be well placed when this type of requirement next reaches the market.
