Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council is procuring special educational needs taxi transport for Bowman Academy. The requirement is categorised as transport services and covers the provision of passenger transport rather than goods, construction or professional consultancy. Delivery is in England, United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The opportunity is concerned with transporting pupils associated with Bowman Academy, making it relevant to operators providing taxi, private-hire or other managed passenger transport services for education settings. Suppliers should assess whether they can deliver the required journeys and service standards for the academy under the council’s existing purchasing arrangements.

The procurement reached the tender stage: the council invited offers through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline set by the buyer was 29 July 2026 at 23:59. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its estimated value is £42,068. The procurement is for services and is presented as a single requirement for Bowman Academy. Offers are being sought from suppliers eligible to participate through the relevant framework. The published details identify transport services as the subject of the tender; the award evaluation basis is set out through the framework and tender arrangements.

This opportunity is aimed at established transport operators that are already appointed to the relevant framework and can provide taxi or managed passenger transport for a special educational needs setting. It may suit businesses with suitable vehicles, appropriately licensed drivers, reliable scheduling and the operational capacity to fulfil education-related journeys throughout the required service period. Operators should be able to manage recurring pupil transport safely and consistently, coordinate with the council and academy, and maintain dependable day-to-day service. The opportunity is marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations, so larger framework suppliers are better placed to compete.
