## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured mainstream taxi transport services for Ibstock School. The requirement is a school transport service, intended to carry pupils to and from the school in England. It sits within the wider transport services category. The council is the buying organisation and the service is associated with Ibstock School, although no more detailed delivery address is provided. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. This is a focused passenger transport opportunity rather than a general vehicle supply or facilities contract, so it is most relevant to taxi firms, school transport operators and other providers able to deliver scheduled pupil journeys safely and reliably.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The tender deadline was 6 August 2026 at 9:00am, and the award was made on 6 August 2026. COALVILLE CABS LTD was awarded the contract for £8,985.60. The tender value was recorded as £46.80. The contract period runs from 25 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The published information describes one requirement for the school transport service, with no separate lots identified. The award is active, and the procurement was evaluated through the open procedure. The result represents the council’s selected supplier for this school taxi service rather than an opportunity for further bids under this process.

This award is useful market evidence for taxi operators and school transport providers serving education routes in England, particularly businesses able to provide dependable, scheduled pupil transport. A credible future supplier would need suitable vehicles, appropriately qualified and vetted drivers, robust safeguarding arrangements, reliable attendance and the operational capacity to maintain journeys throughout the school term. Experience of transporting children, working to school timetables and communicating effectively with the council would strengthen a competing offer. The requirement is explicitly suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so smaller operators and community transport organisations may be well placed if they can demonstrate compliant processes, continuity of service and sufficient driver and vehicle cover.
