## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured a passenger transport service: a mainstream taxi with four passenger seats for the journey from Chilcote to Oakthorpe Primary School. The requirement is a school transport route rather than general fleet or vehicle supply, and falls within transport services. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The delivery location is described as England, with the route itself identifying Chilcote and Oakthorpe Primary School. This opportunity is relevant to taxi operators and passenger transport businesses able to provide a four-seat vehicle and operate the specified school journey for the council.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Bids were due by 19 August 2026 at 9:00am. The contract was awarded to Cab 11 on 19 August 2026 for £10,368, and the contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 8 July 2027. The tender estimated value was also £10,368. The award is active. The requirement was treated as a services procurement and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award covers the complete mainstream taxi service for the Chilcote to Oakthorpe Primary School route, with Cab 11 identified as the selected supplier.

This award shows a defined requirement from Leicestershire County Council for contracted school transport using a mainstream taxi with four passenger seats. For a future opportunity of this kind, a credible competitor would be a taxi or passenger transport operator with access to an appropriately sized vehicle and the operational capacity to provide the named route between Chilcote and Oakthorpe Primary School. The procurement was explicitly suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller local operators and community transport organisations may be well placed to compete. Businesses monitoring the council should treat this as evidence of demand for specific, route-based school passenger transport rather than broad transport provision.
