## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport for Wigston Academy. The requirement is classified as transport services and concerns the operation of a taxi service associated with the academy. Delivery is in England, with the procurement naming Wigston Academy as the destination or service context. This is a public-sector passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply, construction or general consultancy requirement. The council is the buying organisation. The selected supplier, ABC TAXIS(LEICESTER)LIMITED, is based in Leicester. The opportunity is therefore most relevant to taxi and passenger transport businesses able to provide reliable local services for an education setting and to manage the operational requirements of a council-funded transport arrangement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids were due by 8 June 2026 at 9:00am, and the contract was awarded to ABC TAXIS(LEICESTER)LIMITED on 9 June 2026. The awarded value is £1,040. The contract period runs from 15 June 2026 to 8 July 2026. The tender’s stated value was £52, so the published figures distinguish the original procurement value from the awarded value. The procurement was evaluated through the open procedure, with the service category covering transport services. It was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. No lots are identified.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Leicestershire County Council for taxi-based passenger transport connected with Wigston Academy. A credible future competitor would need to be an established taxi or passenger transport operator with vehicles, appropriately authorised drivers and the practical capacity to deliver dependable journeys for an education setting. Local operating knowledge around Leicester and Wigston would be commercially relevant, as would the ability to manage scheduling, punctuality, safeguarding expectations and day-to-day communication with the council or school. The procurement was open and expressly suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, indicating that smaller operators can be relevant where they can evidence reliable service delivery, sufficient operational resilience and compliance with applicable passenger transport requirements.
