## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured a mainstream school taxi service from Markfield to Stanton-under-Bardon Community Primary School. The requirement is for a vehicle with four passenger seats, providing transport services for pupils on this route. The work falls within passenger and transport services and is classified under CPV 60000000. Delivery is in England, serving the Markfield and Stanton-under-Bardon area. This is a local passenger transport requirement rather than a general taxi framework or fleet-wide service. Suppliers relevant to this opportunity are taxi operators and other passenger transport businesses able to provide a suitable four-seat vehicle and operate the specified school journey for the council.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 19 August 2026 at 10:00. The contract was awarded on 19 August 2026 to Everest Taxis Ltd for £9,216 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. Leicestershire County Council is the buying organisation. The award covers the complete requirement rather than separately identified lots. The published procurement value and awarded value are the same. The process was evaluated through the open procedure, with the award outcome recorded as active and the overall tender status as complete.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award demonstrates recurring local demand for dedicated school-route taxi transport from Leicestershire County Council. A credible future competitor would need to provide a reliable four-passenger-seat taxi service, cover the Markfield to Stanton-under-Bardon journey consistently, and manage school transport operations to the council’s required standard. The opportunity is suited to small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so it is relevant to independent taxi firms and community transport operators as well as larger providers. Businesses with dependable local vehicles, driver availability and experience delivering regular contracted passenger journeys would be well placed to compete when this requirement returns.
