## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport for South Charnwood High School. The requirement falls within transport services, covering the provision of a taxi service associated with the school. Delivery is in England, United Kingdom. This is a service contract for a passenger transport operator rather than a vehicle purchase, infrastructure project or general goods supply. Businesses relevant to this requirement include taxi firms and other passenger transport providers able to organise and deliver school-related journeys for the council. The named buyer is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The procurement title identifies the requirement as S253-Mainstream Taxi - South Charnwood High School.

The procurement is complete and was run through an open procedure. Responses were due by 9 September 2026 at 9:00am, and the contract was awarded on 9 September 2026 to BELGRAVE CARS. The awarded value is £12,979. The contract runs from 10 September 2026 to 9 July 2027. The tender’s estimated value was £67.60, while the published award value is £12,979; these are separate figures and should not be treated as interchangeable. The process was evaluated as a straightforward open competition for transport services. The award is active, with BELGRAVE CARS recorded as the selected supplier. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from Leicestershire County Council for taxi-based school transport linked to South Charnwood High School. A credible competitor for the same type of requirement would need to operate passenger vehicles lawfully, organise reliable journeys around a school timetable and provide consistent day-to-day service for pupils. Relevant strengths would include experience in school or other contracted passenger transport, dependable vehicle and driver availability, the capacity to manage a dedicated school requirement and the operational controls needed for punctual, safe delivery. The council marked the requirement as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller specialist operators and community transport organisations may be well placed to compete when similar work returns.
