Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured a mainstream taxi service for four passengers travelling from Buckminster to Charles Read Academy. The requirement is a passenger transport service for the specified school journey, rather than the purchase of vehicles or other goods. The work is delivered in England, with Buckminster as the starting point and Charles Read Academy as the destination. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council. This is a small, route-specific school transport requirement suited to a taxi operator or passenger transport business able to provide a four-seat vehicle and deliver the journey reliably for the council’s service users.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed at 9:00am on 10 August 2026, and the award was made on 12 August 2026 to Anwar Paraouty. The awarded contract value is £20,256 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 15 July 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £20,256. The opportunity was identified as a services procurement and was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. One supplier is recorded as having received the award.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear example of Leicestershire County Council’s demand for dedicated, route-specific passenger transport between local communities and schools. A competitor preparing for a future requirement from this buyer would need to demonstrate practical capacity for a four-passenger taxi service, dependable coverage between Buckminster and Charles Read Academy, and the ability to operate a defined school transport route throughout the required service period. The procurement route was an open procedure, so a taxi operator or small passenger transport business should be prepared to respond to a formally advertised competition and provide concise evidence that it can deliver this scale and type of service.
