Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport for The Hastings Academy. The service covers journeys from Sapcote, Barwell, Stoke Golding and Hinckley to the academy, providing a vehicle with six passenger seats, excluding the driver. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. The requirement is intended to support school travel along a defined route between the named Leicestershire locations and The Hastings Academy. It is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester.

The procurement has been completed following an open procedure. Bids were due by 27 July 2026 at 1pm, and the contract was awarded on 29 July 2026 to A1 Taxi Booking Service Ltd of Hinckley. The awarded value is £17,280 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 7 July 2027. The tender’s estimated value was £90 GBP. The award is active and covers the full requirement for taxi transport to The Hastings Academy. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one service requirement; the available procurement information does not set out a separate quality, price or other evaluation weighting.

This requirement is most relevant to established taxi operators, school transport providers and local passenger transport businesses able to provide a suitable six-seat vehicle and dependable scheduled journeys. Credible competitors would need practical coverage of Sapcote, Barwell, Stoke Golding, Hinckley and The Hastings Academy, with the operational capacity to maintain a regular education transport service across the route. Local knowledge, reliable vehicle availability and the ability to manage passenger journeys consistently would be commercially important. The opportunity is explicitly suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so a smaller operator or community transport organisation could be well placed where it can demonstrate the necessary vehicle and service capacity.
