Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport for Rothley Church of England Primary Academy. The requirement is passenger transport by taxi for the academy; the published item places delivery in England. This is a transport service, rather than a purchase of vehicles or a works contract. The named buyer is Leicestershire County Council, based in Leicester. The requirement is specifically tied to Rothley C of E Primary Academy, so it is most relevant to taxi and passenger-transport operators able to provide the required school journey service in the area. The procurement description does not set out passenger numbers, routes or vehicle specifications.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. The award was made on 23 September 2026 to Generation Cabs Ltd for £716.80. The awarded contract period runs from 25 September to 16 October 2026. The tender response deadline was 23 September 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was presented as one service, with no separate lots. The process identified small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises as suitable participants. No award-scoring criteria are recorded in the supplied process information, so the basis on which the selected supplier was evaluated cannot be stated.

For taxi operators, the award shows that Leicestershire County Council buys a tightly scoped mainstream taxi service for a named primary academy, rather than a broad transport operation. A credible competitor for this same requirement would need to demonstrate the practical ability to provide reliable passenger transport serving Rothley Church of England Primary Academy. The procurement was run as an open procedure, and the requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller operators were considered capable of participating. The recorded award went to a taxi company, making relevant taxi-service delivery experience the clearest commercial fit. The short, school-specific contract illustrates demand at a small, focused scale; operators whose work is limited to unrelated transport services are less directly aligned with this buyer’s requirement.
