Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport for Kibworth Mead Academy. The requirement is a passenger transport service, covering journeys to and from the academy in England. It is a services contract rather than a supply or construction opportunity. The named buyer is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The title identifies the requirement as S264 and links it specifically to Kibworth Mead Academy, so businesses should have an operating base and service capability that can support this school transport requirement in Leicestershire. The service is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that participation was not limited to large transport groups.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Bids were due by 15 July 2026 at 9:00am. The tender value was stated as £59.98, while the active award to TAKE ME SERVICE LTD T/A ADT TAXIS was £11,516; these are separate figures and should not be treated as a combined value. The award date was 24 July 2026. The awarded contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 10 July 2027. The tender record also gives a contract period ending on 9 July 2027. The award was evaluated through the open procedure for transport services, with the successful supplier identified as TAKE ME SERVICE LTD T/A ADT TAXIS.

This award provides a clear example of Leicestershire County Council buying a defined mainstream taxi service for a named academy, rather than a broad regional transport framework. A credible future competitor would need to operate a taxi or private-hire transport business, have sufficient vehicle and driver capacity for recurring academy journeys, and be able to organise dependable day-to-day passenger transport around the school’s requirements. The successful supplier was a large business, but the procurement was expressly suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so smaller operators and community transport organisations may also be relevant competitors. Businesses with established local coverage in Leicestershire, practical school transport experience and the capacity to maintain consistent service delivery would be best placed to compete when a comparable requirement returns.
