Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured taxi transport services for pupils attending Claybrooke Primary School and Ullesthorpe Church of England Primary School. The requirement is school transport by taxi, serving these two named schools in England. The recorded service description identifies the schools but does not describe routes, passenger numbers or any additional transport duties.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to P&P Cabs Ltd. The award date was 1 October 2026, with the contract running from 5 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The awarded value is £31,200. The council used an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 30 September 2026. The recorded estimated tender value matched the awarded value. The requirement was treated as a single service rather than being divided into lots. The published suitability indicators marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are set out in the available process details.

This award shows that Leicestershire County Council buys taxi transport for pupils at Claybrooke Primary School and Ullesthorpe Church of England Primary School. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to deliver reliable, school-focused taxi transport for the specified schools and meet the council’s service requirements through an open procurement. The procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that the buyer characterised the requirement as better suited to a larger provider. Suppliers assessing a future comparable requirement should consider whether they have the capacity to serve both schools and the operational ability to provide the required transport consistently. The award provides evidence of demand for this specific school transport service; it does not establish wider transport requirements.
