## Summary

Leicestershire County Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of mainstream taxi services, specifically requiring a four-passenger vehicle to transport a student from Quorn to Beacon Academy in Loughborough, England. The process, conducted as an open procedure, has reached the award stage as of the 19th of August 2025. This contract falls under the transport services category, excluding waste transport, with a contract period commencing on 26th August 2025 and concluding on 10th July 2026. The tender stage was open until 15th August 2025, with the total contract valued at £7,562.

This tender offers an opportunity for suitable transportation companies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and those with value-driven community sector enterprises, to engage in public sector work. The successful bid was awarded to DRIVE 4 IT TAXIS, a large-scale supplier. Given the nature of the service required, businesses specialising in regular taxi or student transport services are well-suited to pursue similar opportunities in future procurement exercises, potentially expanding their service offerings and client base within the region.
