The Leicestershire County Council recently completed the procurement process for the "S774 Mainstream Taxi to Ashby School and Ivanhoe School" project, categorised under transport services, excluding waste transport. The process utilised an open procedure and has now reached the award stage, with Coalville Cabs Ltd being awarded the contract on 24th July 2025. The contract, valued at £9,234, is set to run from 27th August 2025 to 10th July 2026.
