## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured a taxi transport service for Rothley C of E Academy (Primary). The requirement is classified as transport services and concerns the movement of pupils to or from the school, rather than the supply of vehicles or general passenger transport. Delivery is in England, with Rothley identified in the requirement title. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. This is a local school transport requirement suited to operators able to provide reliable, regular taxi journeys for primary-age pupils and to work with the council and school on the agreed service arrangements.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids had to be submitted by 19 June 2026 at 8:30am. The contract was awarded on 22 June 2026 to AC TAXI for £630, with the contract running from 23 June 2026 to 10 July 2026. The tender record gave an estimated value of £42. The award is recorded as active. The requirement was treated as a services contract and was presented as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award covers one school taxi requirement and AC TAXI was the selected supplier.

This award shows demand from Leicestershire County Council for small-scale, school-focused taxi transport rather than a large general transport operation. A credible future competitor would be a local taxi or private-hire operator with suitable vehicles, dependable availability during school travel times and the capacity to provide consistent journeys throughout the agreed service period. Experience transporting children or working safely with schools would strengthen a supplier’s position, alongside robust safeguarding procedures, appropriately licensed drivers and reliable communication with the council. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller established operators may be well placed to compete when comparable school transport is next sourced.
