## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured a mainstream taxi service providing five passenger seats for travel from East Norton to Uppingham Community College, also referred to as Uppingham College. The requirement is a passenger transport service for the school journey, rather than vehicle supply or general transport provision. The named delivery area is England, with the specified route connecting East Norton and Uppingham Community College. The procurement falls within transport services, excluding waste transport. It is relevant to taxi operators, school transport providers and passenger transport businesses able to provide a suitable five-seat vehicle and operate this route for the council. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed at 12:00 on 7 August 2026. The contract was awarded on 12 August 2026 to Supreme Leicester Services Ltd for £16,953.60 including the stated contract value currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 27 July 2027. The award is active and covers the five-seat mainstream taxi service from East Norton to Uppingham Community College. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The available process information records an open competition and the awarded supplier, but does not set out a separate quality, price or other scoring basis.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined council requirement for a five-seat taxi serving a school route between East Norton and Uppingham Community College. A credible future competitor would need to operate a suitable passenger vehicle, provide reliable scheduled school transport, and manage the route consistently throughout the service period. Local knowledge of East Norton, Uppingham and the surrounding road network would support dependable delivery, while the ability to meet school transport standards and council administration requirements would strengthen its position. The opportunity is expressly suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller taxi operators and community transport organisations with the necessary vehicle and operational capacity may be well placed to compete when this requirement returns.
