Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured a mainstream taxi service for one school transport route, carrying up to four passengers from Hinckley to Redmoor Academy. The requirement is for passenger transport rather than vehicle supply or construction work, and falls within transport services. Delivery is associated with Hinckley and Redmoor Academy in Leicestershire, England. The buyer is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The service is intended to provide scheduled transport between the stated starting point and the school, making it relevant to taxi firms, private hire operators and other passenger transport businesses able to provide a four-seat vehicle and operate this route.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids were due by 20 July 2026 at 09:00. Leicestershire County Council awarded the contract to A1 Taxi Booking Service Ltd on 22 July 2026 for £6,912. The awarded contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The tender records an estimated value of £6,912, with the service period stated as 25 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. No lots or separate evaluation weightings are recorded.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from Leicestershire County Council for school-route taxi transport between Hinckley and Redmoor Academy, using a vehicle with four passenger seats. A credible future competitor would need to be an established taxi, private hire or passenger transport operator with suitable vehicle capacity, reliable availability for the full school transport service and the practical ability to cover the route consistently. The award also shows that the council uses an open procedure for this type of relatively small, focused transport requirement, creating a useful benchmark for operators assessing their capability and readiness for similar council school transport procurements.
