## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured a mainstream school transport service for Dove Bank Primary School. The requirement is a taxi with six passenger seats, excluding the driver, carrying pupils from Bagworth to the school. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract, classified under transport services. Delivery is in England, with the route specifically connecting Bagworth and Dove Bank Primary School. The council is the buying organisation. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it relevant to local taxi operators, private hire businesses and other passenger transport providers able to deliver a scheduled school journey.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 3 August 2026 at 3pm. The contract was awarded on 11 August 2026 to GENERATION CABS LTD for £14,073.60. The contract period runs from 25 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The tender was recorded with a value of £73.30, while the awarded value is £14,073.60; these are separate figures published for the procurement and award. The award is active. The procurement was evaluated through the open procedure, and the published outcome identifies GENERATION CABS LTD as the selected supplier.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for regular, dedicated school passenger transport between Bagworth and Dove Bank Primary School. A credible future competitor would need access to a suitable taxi or private hire vehicle with six passenger seats excluding the driver, together with the operational capacity to provide dependable daily or scheduled journeys for school pupils. Local knowledge of the route and the ability to maintain consistent service throughout a school-year contract would be commercially relevant. The opportunity is particularly aligned with smaller transport businesses, community transport organisations and voluntary-sector operators because the requirement is explicitly suitable for SMEs and VCSEs. GENERATION CABS LTD provides a clear example of the supplier profile that secured the work.
