Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport for pupils travelling from Lutterworth to Lutterworth High School and John Wycliffe Primary School. The requirement is for a six-passenger-seat taxi, excluding the driver, providing scheduled school transport. It falls within transport services (CPV 60000000) and is classified as a service. Delivery is in Lutterworth, within England. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement is focused on transporting pupils between the town and the two named schools. This is a local passenger transport service rather than a general vehicle hire, courier or waste transport requirement, so it is most relevant to taxi and private-hire operators able to provide a suitable vehicle and reliable school-route coverage.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The contract was awarded to PINNACLE DRIVE SURE LTD on 30 July 2026 for £9,216 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 8 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 21 July 2026 at 09:00. The procurement was valued at £48 GBP in the tender information, while the awarded contract value is £9,216 GBP. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. One supplier is recorded as receiving the award, and the tender is marked complete.

This award demonstrates a defined local demand for dedicated pupil transport between Lutterworth and two schools, delivered by a taxi operator with capacity for six passengers. Businesses considering comparable work should be able to provide a suitable passenger vehicle, maintain dependable scheduled services and manage regular school-day journeys over the required route. The requirement is explicitly suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller local operators may be credible competitors alongside larger transport businesses. The awarded supplier, PINNACLE DRIVE SURE LTD, is recorded as a large organisation, indicating that the service can be delivered at an established-operator scale, but the route itself is sufficiently focused for capable local taxi and private-hire providers to benchmark their vehicles, availability and operating capacity against it.
