## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured a mainstream taxi service with four passenger seats for travel from Eaton and Eastwell to Stathern Primary School. The requirement is a passenger transport service supporting journeys to and from the school, rather than the purchase of vehicles or other goods. The work is located in England and is managed by the council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The service falls within the wider transport services category. It is a focused local route requirement, suited to an operator able to provide a reliable four-seat taxi and carry out the specified school journeys between the named villages and Stathern Primary School.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. The contract was awarded to Topps Express Limited on 11 August 2026 for £13,440. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 10 August 2026 at 9:00am. The award covers the full requirement for the mainstream taxi service between Eaton and Eastwell and Stathern Primary School. The published information identifies the award and supplier but does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or scoring basis. The awarded contract period indicates a school-year service, with delivery beginning shortly after the award decision and ending in July 2027.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award demonstrates a recurring local requirement for small-scale school transport commissioned by Leicestershire County Council. A credible competitor for a future equivalent requirement would need to operate a four-passenger-seat taxi, cover the Eaton, Eastwell and Stathern route reliably, and provide consistent school-focused passenger transport throughout the required service period. The opportunity is appropriate for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so organisations of those types can regard this buyer and requirement as relevant. Experience in scheduled school journeys, dependable daily operations and the capacity to maintain service across the school year would strengthen a future response.
