Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured a mainstream taxi service for Ivanhoe School. This is passenger transport work, with delivery in England. The requirement is identified as a school taxi service, but the available scope does not describe routes, passenger numbers, journey frequency or vehicle specifications.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to P&P CABS Ltd. The award was made on 14 September 2026, at a value of £9,880. The contract period runs from 15 October 2026 to 9 July 2027. The council used an open procedure. The tender deadline was 11 September 2026 at 16:00. The stated estimated tender value was £52; the award value is £9,880. The service was categorised as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No lot structure or evaluation criteria are recorded in the available process details.

This award shows demand from Leicestershire County Council for taxi transport serving Ivanhoe School, and that a taxi operator was selected through an open procedure. Operators with the capacity to provide dependable school passenger transport are the closest fit when this specific requirement returns to market. The council’s stated SME and voluntary, community and social enterprise suitability indicates that smaller operators and social enterprises may be relevant competitors, rather than the work being inherently limited to large providers. Businesses assessing similar work should consider whether they can deliver the school transport requirement reliably and at the scale required; the published scope does not identify particular vehicle standards, routes, passenger numbers, accreditations or experience requirements.
