Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured a passenger taxi service for mainstream school transport between Hinckley and New Lubbesthorpe and Brookvale Groby Learning Campus. The requirement is for a taxi with four passenger seats, excluding the driver, supporting transport to the learning campus. It is a transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract. The named buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. Delivery is in England, with the route specifically connecting the Hinckley and New Lubbesthorpe areas to Brookvale Groby Learning Campus. The procurement falls within the broad transport services category. The service is relevant to taxi firms, private-hire operators and other passenger transport businesses able to provide a suitable four-passenger-seat vehicle and operate this school route reliably.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The submission deadline was 24 July 2026 at 13:30. The contract was awarded to P&P Cabs LTD on 29 July 2026 for £13,824, and runs from 24 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The tender record also gives an overall value of £72 in the procurement currency, while the awarded value is £13,824; these figures should be read separately rather than combined. The contract covers one transport requirement, with no separate lot awards reported. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The published procurement category is services, with transport services as the stated classification.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for regular education transport on a local route, served by a small vehicle rather than a large fleet operation. Businesses considering the next comparable requirement for Leicestershire County Council would need to show they can provide a four-passenger-seat taxi, cover journeys between Hinckley, New Lubbesthorpe and Brookvale Groby Learning Campus, and deliver dependable service for a school setting. Local knowledge, reliable vehicle availability and the operational capacity to maintain the route throughout the required service period would be commercially relevant. The procurement was run through an open procedure and was marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that smaller passenger transport providers can be credible competitors where they can meet the service requirement and demonstrate consistent delivery.
