Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured a mainstream taxi service for transporting up to four passengers from Leire and Frolesworth to Old Mill Primary School. The requirement is a passenger transport service supporting school travel, rather than vehicle supply, construction or general logistics. The route serves the named villages and school in England. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement falls within transport services. It is relevant to taxi operators, private hire companies and other passenger transport providers able to provide a suitable vehicle and reliable journeys for a small number of school passengers. The service is specifically structured around a regular school route and should suit businesses operating in or able to cover the Leire, Frolesworth and Old Mill Primary School area.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through an open procedure. The contract was awarded to XYZ Private Hire Ltd on 28 July 2026 for £9,216. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 6 July 2027. The original tender had a submission deadline of 28 July 2026 at 9:00am. The requirement was treated as a single transport service rather than being divided into lots. Evaluation was carried out for the complete requirement under the open tender route. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The selected supplier is a private hire business, and the award is active.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined local market for school transport using a small-capacity taxi or private hire vehicle. A credible competitor would need to operate reliably on the Leire and Frolesworth to Old Mill Primary School route, provide four passenger seats, and manage consistent school journeys throughout the service requirement. Relevant strengths include established taxi or private hire operations, dependable scheduling, suitable vehicle capacity and the ability to serve a school-focused passenger transport contract. The council marked the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller operators and community transport organisations with the necessary operating capability could be well placed when comparable demand returns.
