## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured a mainstream taxi service for Humphrey Perkins. The requirement falls within passenger transport services and is categorised as a service contract. Delivery is in England. The procurement concerns the provision of taxi transport associated with Humphrey Perkins rather than the supply of vehicles or general transport infrastructure. Businesses operating passenger taxi services, including operators able to provide regular journeys for an education setting, are the relevant market. The council is the buyer and contracting authority. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that the requirement was potentially accessible to organisations of those types.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed at 9:00am on 21 August 2026. The tender had an estimated value of £48, while the active award was made to EVEREST TAXIS LTD for £9,216. The award date was 21 August 2026. The awarded contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The procurement was evaluated through the open tender process, with the requirement described as a mainstream taxi service for Humphrey Perkins. The award confirms that one supplier was selected for the service. Leicestershire County Council is the buyer and EVEREST TAXIS LTD is the awarded supplier.

For a future requirement of this type, a credible competitor would need to operate a dependable taxi or passenger transport service capable of supporting Humphrey Perkins in England. Relevant strengths would include suitable vehicles, appropriately licensed drivers, reliable scheduling and the operational capacity to deliver regular education-related journeys. The successful award demonstrates that the council purchases a defined, school-linked taxi service through an open procurement route, rather than an undifferentiated transport framework. Smaller taxi businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises were considered suitable for the requirement, so local operators with clear compliance arrangements, dependable day-to-day service and evidence of comparable passenger transport delivery would be well placed to compete when the requirement returns.
