Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured a mainstream taxi service for transporting passengers from Rearsby to De Lisle College. The requirement is for a vehicle with four passenger seats, under the transport services category. Delivery is in England, with the route linking Rearsby and De Lisle College. The council is the buying organisation and the service supports scheduled education-related passenger transport. This is a focused local transport requirement rather than a general vehicle supply contract, so it is most relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and other passenger transport businesses able to provide a suitable vehicle and operate the specified route reliably.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through an open procedure. Belgrave Cars was selected as the supplier for £11,308.80 including the stated currency of GBP. The award date was 19 August 2026. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 19 August 2026 at 13:00. The requirement was treated as a services contract and the tender was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The available procurement information identifies the open procedure but does not set out a separate award scoring basis.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from Leicestershire County Council for dedicated school-route taxi transport using a four-passenger-seat vehicle. Businesses best placed for comparable work will be established taxi or private-hire operators, small transport companies and eligible community or social enterprises with a suitable vehicle, the ability to provide dependable scheduled journeys, and operational coverage for the Rearsby to De Lisle College route. Credibility will depend on demonstrating that the service can be delivered consistently for the full operating period, with appropriate passenger transport arrangements, reliable availability and the capacity to meet the council’s specified vehicle and route requirements.
