## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured a mainstream taxi service for school transport, carrying up to four passengers, excluding the driver. The route runs from Leicester Forest East to Kingsway Primary School. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or wider transport operation, and the requirement is tied to transporting pupils to the named primary school. The buyer is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The delivery area is England, with the operational route specifically connecting Leicester Forest East and Kingsway Primary School. Businesses suited to this opportunity include taxi operators able to provide a four-passenger vehicle and undertake the specified school journey.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender deadline was 10 August 2026 at 9:30am, and the contract was awarded on 10 August 2026. LOCAL TAXIS LTD was selected for £6,912. The contract runs from 25 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The tender carried an estimated value of £36, while the awarded value is £6,912; these figures are reported separately. The service is classified as transport services and falls within the services category. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, confirming that a supplier has been selected for the stated school transport requirement.

This award shows a defined local demand for contracted taxi transport between Leicester Forest East and Kingsway Primary School. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to operate a taxi with at least four passenger seats, excluding the driver, and be able to provide the specified school journey. Taxi businesses serving Leicester and the surrounding area are the closest commercial fit, particularly smaller operators and voluntary, community or social enterprises, since the procurement was identified as suitable for both. The successful supplier demonstrates that a straightforward taxi operation can meet this council requirement through an open procurement route. Route familiarity, dependable vehicle availability and the ability to provide the service consistently would support competitiveness when comparable work returns.
