Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport for a school journey from Oadby to All Saints Church of England Primary School. The requirement is for a taxi with four passenger seats, providing transport services for the school route. The work is classified as transport services and is delivered in England, with the route beginning in Oadby and serving the named primary school. This is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply, construction or general school facilities management. It is relevant to taxi operators, private hire companies and other passenger transport providers able to provide a suitable four-seat vehicle and operate the specified journey for the council.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Leicestershire County Council selected ABC Taxis (Leicester) Ltd. The award value is £6,912. The award date was 4 August 2026. The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 3 August 2026 at 9:00am. The requirement was treated as a services contract and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published outcome records one supplier and one requirement for the Oadby to All Saints Church of England Primary School taxi service. The award is active and the tender status is complete.

This award provides a clear indication of demand for local, school-focused taxi transport from Leicestershire County Council. A credible future competitor would need to operate a reliable passenger transport service for the Oadby to All Saints Church of England Primary School journey, using a vehicle with four passenger seats. Relevant providers include established taxi and private hire operators with suitable vehicles, local route knowledge and the capacity to deliver a regular school journey throughout the required service period. The opportunity is also evidence that the council uses an open procedure for this type of transport requirement, so suppliers should be able to prepare a compliant formal tender and demonstrate dependable operational delivery. Smaller operators and voluntary or community organisations were identified as suitable types of supplier.
