Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured a mainstream taxi service for a school journey from Stoke Golding to Higham on the Hill Primary School. The requirement is for a vehicle with four passenger seats, providing transport services for pupils between the two locations. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract. The delivery location is in England, with the route connecting communities in the Hinckley and Bosworth area. The council is the buying organisation. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it relevant to local taxi operators and other small passenger transport providers with the appropriate vehicle and operating capability.

The procurement is complete and was run as an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 10 August 2026 at 9am, and the contract was awarded on 12 August 2026 to Baz Moore Taxi. The awarded value is £9,600 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 8 July 2027. The service was evaluated through the open tender process, with the requirement described as transport services. The selected supplier is recorded as an active award recipient. The awarded contract covers the four-seat mainstream taxi service between Stoke Golding and Higham on the Hill Primary School.

This award demonstrates a defined local demand for regular school passenger transport using a small-capacity taxi. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would be established taxi or private-hire operators able to provide a suitable four-passenger-seat vehicle, reliable scheduled school journeys and consistent service throughout the school year. Local knowledge of Stoke Golding, Higham on the Hill and surrounding roads would support dependable operation, alongside the capacity to maintain punctual daily transport and manage routine vehicle or driver contingencies. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so a small local operator can be credible where it can demonstrate safe, reliable and properly managed passenger transport.
