Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured a mainstream school taxi service for South Charnwood High School. The requirement is a four-seat taxi transporting pupils from Merry Lees, Stanton under Bardon and Markfield to the school. This is a passenger transport service, within the wider transport services category (CPV 60000000). The work is delivered in England, serving the named communities and school route. The buyer is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The requirement concerns regular school transport rather than vehicle supply, construction or general fleet services, so it is most relevant to taxi operators and passenger transport businesses able to provide a small vehicle and reliable scheduled journeys for school pupils.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. Bids closed on 20 July 2026 at 12:00. Generation Cabs LTD was awarded the contract on 21 July 2026 for £12,153.60. The contract runs from 26 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The tender carried an estimated value of £63.60, while the reported awarded value is £12,153.60; these figures are presented separately because they describe different stages of the process. The recorded evaluation basis is the open-procedure competition. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. One supplier is recorded as awarded.

This award shows a defined local market for contracted school taxi transport serving rural and semi-rural communities around South Charnwood High School. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a suitable four-seat taxi, the operational capacity to cover the Merry Lees, Stanton under Bardon and Markfield route, and dependable availability across the school transport period. Practical strengths would include experience transporting pupils, reliable daily scheduling, route knowledge, safe and professional passenger handling, and the ability to maintain consistent service for a named school. The opportunity is particularly relevant to smaller taxi firms, community transport providers and other passenger operators that can manage a dedicated school route rather than large-scale fleet operations.
