Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport for Long Field Academy, identified as Mainstream Taxi S265. The requirement falls within transport services and is a service contract rather than a goods or construction opportunity. Delivery is in England, United Kingdom. The council is the buying organisation and the selected supplier is Premier Taxi Leicester Ltd. The procurement concerns a specific school transport requirement, so it is most relevant to taxi operators and passenger transport businesses able to provide dependable services for an academy journey. Businesses serving Leicestershire and the surrounding area are likely to be the closest fit, although the published delivery location is stated only at national level.

The procurement is complete and was run as an open procedure. Bids were due by 23 July 2026 at 9:00 am. The tender carried an estimated value of £64, while the active award to Premier Taxi Leicester Ltd is valued at £12,160. The award was made on 28 July 2026. The awarded contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 6 July 2027. Leicestershire County Council selected one supplier for the requirement. The published data identifies the service category and the school requirement, with suitability indicated for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active.

This award demonstrates a defined demand from Leicestershire County Council for mainstream taxi provision serving Long Field Academy. It is directly relevant to taxi firms and other passenger transport operators with the vehicles, drivers, scheduling and safeguarding arrangements needed for regular school transport. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that a smaller specialist operator could be credible when the requirement next reaches the market. A competing business would need to show reliable operational capacity, consistent school-service delivery and the ability to work within the council’s open-procedure route. Local knowledge of academy transport and the ability to maintain service continuity would strengthen its position.
