Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured specialist taxi transport services for the SEN20467 requirement, titled “SEN-TAXI-Hinckley Parks Primary School (Foxfields Link)”. The service concerns transport associated with Hinckley Parks Primary School and the Foxfields Link. It falls within the broad category of passenger transport services, covering transport rather than goods, construction or professional consultancy. Delivery is in England, United Kingdom. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement is a public service contract for school-related transport. Businesses relevant to this requirement include taxi operators and other passenger transport providers able to provide the specified special educational needs transport service for the named school link. The awarded supplier was Belgrave Cars, based in Leicester.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The award was made to Belgrave Cars on 18 September 2026 for £11,492. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The original tender submission deadline was 17 September 2026 at 23:59. The procurement was for services and was assessed through the open procedure. The award is active, with the awarded value matching the tender’s estimated value. The contract covers one requirement for the Hinckley Parks Primary School Foxfields Link, rather than multiple separately reported lots or suppliers. The buyer is Leicestershire County Council, and the selected supplier is Belgrave Cars.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear example of Leicestershire County Council’s demand for dedicated school transport for children with special educational needs. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need passenger transport capability, suitable taxi or private-hire vehicle capacity, and the operational ability to provide a reliable school link throughout the school year. Experience in school transport and in supporting passengers with additional needs would be commercially relevant to this specific requirement. The successful supplier was a large Leicester-based car business, indicating that the council selected an established operator with the capacity to deliver the service. Providers assessing similar council work should be able to demonstrate dependable route delivery and manage a sustained education transport commitment.
