Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream passenger transport for South Wigston High School. The requirement was for a five-seater taxi service transporting pupils from Braunstone, Enderby and Littlethorpe to the school. This is a local school transport service within Leicestershire, categorised as transport services. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The service is intended for suppliers able to provide a suitable five-seat taxi and operate planned journeys connecting the named communities with South Wigston High School. It is a services contract rather than a goods supply or construction project, and is relevant to taxi operators, school transport providers and passenger transport businesses with suitable vehicles and local operating coverage.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. Bids were due by 9:00am on 30 July 2026, and the contract was awarded on 30 July 2026 to Generation Cabs Ltd. The awarded value is £12,921.60. The contract period runs from 25 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The tender was marked complete at award stage. The published outcome identifies one active award and one supplier. The procurement was classified as a transport services requirement and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award concerns the complete five-seater taxi service between Braunstone, Enderby, Littlethorpe and South Wigston High School.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the requirement indicates a defined local market for contracted five-seat school taxi transport serving Leicestershire County Council. A credible competitor would need access to an appropriate five-seater vehicle, the operational capacity to provide reliable pupil journeys, and practical coverage of Braunstone, Enderby, Littlethorpe and South Wigston. Experience in scheduled passenger or school transport would help demonstrate that the business can manage regular routes, timing requirements and service continuity. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller local operators and community-focused transport providers may be well placed to compete when this type of requirement returns. Local knowledge and dependable day-to-day delivery are central commercial capabilities.
