## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport for Manor High School. The requirement is a passenger transport service, rather than a purchase of vehicles, and is intended to provide taxi travel associated with the school. The stated delivery location is England; no more precise service area is identified in the procurement details. The title and description identify Manor High School but do not describe routes, passenger numbers or specific journey arrangements, so the requirement should be read as school-related taxi provision rather than a defined wider transport operation. The buyer is Leicestershire County Council, based in Leicester. This is a services contract in the transport sector (CPV 60000000).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to ABC Taxis (Leicester) Limited following an open procedure. The award was made on 21 September 2026, and the contract runs from 23 September 2026 to 9 July 2027. The awarded value is £10,368. The stated tender estimate was £54. The recorded response deadline was 21 September 2026 at 09:00. The requirement is presented as a single school taxi service, with no separate lots. The published evaluation basis and eligibility conditions are not described in the process details. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable to participate.

For taxi operators, this award demonstrates a defined school-related transport requirement from Leicestershire County Council, awarded to a Leicester-based taxi supplier. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to provide dependable passenger taxi services suited to school journeys and be able to deliver them across the required service period. Local operating knowledge and the capacity to meet the buyer’s journey requirements would be relevant, although the published requirement does not establish specific vehicle, staffing, safeguarding or accreditation standards. The contract’s limited duration and school-specific focus make this most relevant to operators already equipped to provide passenger transport for education settings, rather than general transport businesses without suitable service capacity. The procurement also indicates that the council used an open procedure and that smaller firms and voluntary-sector organisations were regarded as suitable participants.
