About

Leicestershire County Council awarded five low-value Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) contracts to Drive 4 It Taxis, Take Me Taxis, Kirby Cars, and Premier Taxis Leicester for the provision of statutory public transport in rural areas with no other public transport provision.

The contracts, each up to 12 months, were awarded via direct award under the Procurement Act 2023 due to low value and uncertainty of contract end dates.

Individual contract values are: RTC24 with Drive 4 It Taxis at £2,160.00; RTC309 with Take Me Taxis at £1,540.00; RTC39 with Kirby Cars at £3,264.00; RTC392 with Premier Taxis Leicester at £5,712.00; and RTC4 with Kirby Cars at £5,040.00.

The total contract value is approximately £17,716 (AUD 18,000).
