## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport for The Hinckley School. The requirement falls within transport services, covering passenger transport associated with the school in England. The named buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The procurement concerns a service rather than goods or construction works. The requirement is specific to the school’s mainstream taxi transport needs, so it is most relevant to taxi operators, private-hire businesses and passenger transport providers able to provide school-related journeys in the local area. The published scope identifies the school and the transport service category, making this a focused education transport requirement rather than a general council-wide passenger transport contract.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at 8:30am, and the award was made on 24 August 2026. BELGRAVE CARS was selected for an awarded value of £13,152. The contract runs from 26 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The tender’s stated value was £68.50, in addition to the awarded value recorded for the successful supplier. The process was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The outcome relates to one identified requirement for mainstream taxi transport at The Hinckley School, rather than a multi-lot award. The evaluation basis is the competitive open-procedure process recorded for this service.

For a supplier that did not win, this award provides a clear example of Leicestershire County Council’s demand for dedicated mainstream taxi transport supporting The Hinckley School. The requirement is suitable for smaller businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so a local taxi operator or passenger transport provider can be commercially relevant if it can deliver reliable school transport services in England. A credible future competitor would need an operating model built around taxi or private-hire passenger journeys, sufficient vehicle and driver capacity for the school’s requirement, and the ability to manage council procurement through an open procedure. The successful award to BELGRAVE CARS shows that the buyer purchases a focused, school-specific transport service rather than only large, general transport programmes.
