Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured passenger transport services for special educational needs learners travelling to Brooksby Melton College. The requirement is described as SEN taxi transport and falls within the transport services category. Delivery is in England, United Kingdom. The service is for the college’s relevant learners rather than for general public transport, indicating a dedicated education transport operation. The council is the buying organisation. The procurement concerns services, with the requirement focused on transporting passengers safely and reliably as part of their access to Brooksby Melton College. Businesses operating student, school or specialist passenger transport services would find the subject matter relevant, particularly those able to organise dedicated vehicle and driver provision for education journeys in Leicestershire and the surrounding area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 30 August 2026 at 23:59. Leicestershire County Council awarded the contract to belgrave cars on 1 September 2026. The awarded value is £24,856. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The procurement’s estimated value and the awarded value are both £24,856. The award is active, and the selected supplier is belgrave cars. The opportunity was treated as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. The process therefore records a completed award rather than an invitation for further bids on this contract.

This award confirms a defined requirement from Leicestershire County Council for dedicated SEN passenger transport to Brooksby Melton College. It provides a useful benchmark for transport operators monitoring the council’s education travel needs: the work was placed through an open procedure and awarded to a large transport supplier. A credible future competitor would need dependable passenger transport operations, suitable vehicles, trained and reliable drivers, and the capacity to deliver regular education journeys consistently. Experience transporting children or young people with special educational needs would strengthen a supplier’s position, as would robust safeguarding, passenger assistance and journey-management arrangements. Operators should also be able to demonstrate resilience and service continuity for a council-funded college transport requirement of this type.
