## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport for Great Dalby Primary School. The requirement falls within passenger transport services and concerns transporting pupils to and from the school in England. It is a service contract bought by the county council, rather than a vehicle supply or infrastructure project. The named requirement is S454-Mainstream Taxi – Great Dalby Primary, indicating a dedicated school transport arrangement for this setting. Businesses relevant to this opportunity include taxi operators, private-hire companies and other passenger transport providers able to provide reliable school journeys. The council is the buyer and the selected supplier is Generation Cabs Ltd, based in Leicester. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, widening its potential relevance beyond large transport groups.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Leicestershire County Council used an open procedure for services. Bids were due by 7 August 2026 at 13:00. The tender value was £63.80, while the active award to Generation Cabs Ltd was £12,249. The award was made on 10 August 2026. The awarded contract runs from 26 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. Generation Cabs Ltd is the only named awarded supplier. The published requirement was evaluated through the open competition route, with the procurement record identifying transport services as the classification. The award value and contract dates relate to this supplier and should not be treated as a wider framework or combined programme value.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of Leicestershire County Council’s demand for contracted mainstream taxi transport linked to a primary school. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need the vehicles, drivers, operational control and local coverage to provide dependable pupil journeys throughout the school contract period. Reliability, punctuality, safeguarding-conscious operation and the ability to maintain consistent service for a school route would be commercially important, even though specific accreditations or technical qualifications are not identified here. The opportunity is also relevant to SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller operators with suitable capacity may be able to compete alongside established taxi businesses. Generation Cabs Ltd’s award demonstrates that a commercial taxi operator can satisfy this council’s requirement.
