Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured transport services for Bowman Academy under requirement SEN19070-SEN-TAXI-Bowman Academy. The service is a special educational needs taxi provision, placing emphasis on providing transport for pupils travelling to and from the academy. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. Delivery is in England. This is a services contract rather than a goods or construction requirement, classified under CPV 60000000 for transport services. The opportunity is therefore relevant to passenger transport operators, taxi and private-hire businesses, and organisations able to provide regular education-related transport for children and young people with special educational needs.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The contract was awarded to P&P CABS LTD on 28 July 2026 for £33,514 including the published currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender had a submission deadline of 24 July 2026 at 23:59. The published procurement value was also £33,514. The award is active, and the contracting process is marked complete. The requirement was treated as a transport services procurement for the whole requirement, rather than being presented as separate lots. The published suitability assessment indicates that participation was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates established demand from Leicestershire County Council for dedicated school transport supporting special educational needs at Bowman Academy. A credible future competitor would need reliable passenger transport operations, sufficient vehicle and driver capacity for recurring school journeys, and the ability to provide dependable service throughout the academic contract period. Experience in education transport or transporting pupils with additional needs would help demonstrate operational understanding, safeguarding awareness and consistent delivery, although the procurement data does not identify particular accreditations or technical qualifications. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation, indicating that scale and the capacity to sustain the service were commercially relevant. Passenger transport operators serving England can use this requirement as a focused benchmark for the council’s purchasing needs.
