Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream school transport by taxi for the journey from Stockerston to Bringhurst Primary School. The requirement is for a four-seater taxi providing transport between the specified village and the primary school. It is a passenger transport service rather than a goods supply, construction project or general fleet contract. The work is associated with Bringhurst Primary School and the Stockerston collection point, serving the council’s education transport needs. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so it is relevant to local taxi firms, community transport operators and other passenger transport businesses able to provide a suitable vehicle and dependable school-route service.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 30 July 2026 to Town and County Taxis Ltd. The award value is £10,540.80 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 22 July 2027. The estimated tender value was also £10,540.80. The council used an open procedure, allowing suppliers to compete through a single-stage process. The tender submission deadline was 30 July 2026 at 12:00. The award is active and covers the complete requirement for the four-seater taxi service between Stockerston and Bringhurst Primary School. No separate lots or multiple awarded suppliers are recorded for this requirement.

This award provides a clear example of Leicestershire County Council buying a defined, route-based school transport service from a taxi operator. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to a four-seat taxi, the operational capacity to provide regular journeys on the Stockerston to Bringhurst Primary School route, and the reliability needed for education transport. Local knowledge of the collection and destination points would help with practical delivery, while dependable scheduling and vehicle availability would be central to performance. The procurement’s stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller local operators and community transport organisations can be relevant participants, alongside larger taxi businesses.
