Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream school transport by taxi for Frisby Church of England Primary School. The requirement was for a taxi with four passenger seats, excluding the driver, carrying passengers from Rotherby to the school. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction requirement, falling within the broad category of transport services. Delivery is in England, with the stated route running between Rotherby and Frisby Church of England Primary School. The council is the buying organisation. The requirement is closely suited to taxi operators and other passenger transport businesses able to provide a small-capacity vehicle and reliable school-route service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender deadline was 3 August 2026 at 12:30, and the contract was awarded on 10 August 2026 to EVEREST TAXIS LTD. The tender value was stated as £58, while the awarded value was £11,136. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 8 July 2027. The award is active. The procurement was identified as a services contract, with the stated evaluation basis being the open procedure rather than a published quality or price weighting. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates a defined need for regular, small-capacity taxi transport linking Rotherby with Frisby Church of England Primary School. A credible future competitor would need to operate a taxi with at least four passenger seats excluding the driver, provide dependable scheduled passenger transport, and maintain the reliability expected for mainstream school journeys. Local knowledge of the route, practical arrangements for school-day travel and the capacity to cover the full service period would strengthen a supplier’s position. The opportunity is relevant to taxi firms, school transport operators and community transport organisations that can deliver individual education routes rather than large-scale fleet or bus services. The requirement was explicitly suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.
