## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport for S99, Heath Lane Academy. The requirement is a passenger transport service, intended to provide journeys associated with the academy. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. Delivery is in England. The procurement is categorised as services and classified under CPV 60000000, covering transport services other than waste transport. This is a focused school transport requirement rather than a general vehicle supply or infrastructure contract. It is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and passenger transport providers able to organise and deliver regular academy-related journeys, with appropriate vehicles, drivers and operational arrangements for the service area.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed on 27 July 2026 at 9:00am, and the award decision was made on 28 July 2026. A1 Taxi Booking Service Ltd was selected as supplier for £15,200, against an estimated procurement value of £80. The awarded contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 8 July 2027. The tender was marked complete and the award is active. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one requirement, rather than separate lots or multiple awards. The evaluation basis was the open-procedure competition; the recorded procurement information does not set out additional quality, price or technical weightings.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for organised taxi transport supporting a named academy within the Leicestershire County Council estate. A credible future competitor would need reliable passenger transport operations, suitable vehicles, appropriately qualified and vetted drivers, robust booking and dispatch processes, and the capacity to provide consistent school-related journeys. The successful supplier was a large taxi booking business, indicating that the buyer valued an operator able to coordinate delivery rather than merely provide an individual vehicle. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller local operators may be commercially relevant where they can evidence dependable service, safeguarding arrangements, resilience and effective day-to-day communication with the council and school.
