Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream school transport by taxi for St Martin’s Catholic Voluntary Academy. The requirement is an eight-passenger-seat vehicle service transporting pupils from Market Bosworth, Upton, Fenny Drayton and Hinckley to the academy. It is a passenger transport service, falling under CPV 60000000, rather than a vehicle supply or construction requirement. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. Delivery is associated with the named communities and the school destination. The requirement is therefore relevant to taxi operators, school transport providers and passenger transport businesses able to provide safe, reliable journeys for pupils on this route.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids were due by 20 July 2026 at 3pm, and the award was made on 22 July 2026. A1 Taxi Booking Service Ltd was selected for a contract worth £18,048. The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The requirement is a single eight-seat taxi service for the stated school route. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The published information records the transport service and open procedure; the award outcome identifies the successful supplier and the awarded value.

This award demonstrates a defined local requirement for contracted school passenger transport serving Leicestershire County Council and St Martin’s Catholic Voluntary Academy. Competitors would need access to an eight-passenger taxi or equivalent suitable vehicle, the operational capacity to cover journeys from Market Bosworth, Upton, Fenny Drayton and Hinckley, and reliable arrangements for transporting pupils to the school. Local taxi firms, specialist school transport operators and community or social enterprises could be credible suppliers where they can provide dependable daily service, manage route logistics and meet the practical safeguarding and passenger-care expectations associated with school travel. The awarded route and scale provide a clear benchmark for businesses preparing for comparable council requirements.
