Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured a transport service described as “SEN18823-SEN-TAXI” for Birch Wood School on Grange Drive. The requirement falls within transport services, specifically a taxi service connected with the school. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The stated delivery country is the United Kingdom, with England identified as the delivery region. This is a services procurement rather than a supply of goods or construction works. The opportunity is therefore relevant to businesses providing contracted taxi or passenger transport services for schools and public-sector bodies, particularly those able to support the particular school transport requirement identified by the council.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Leicestershire County Council used an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 15 July 2026 at 23:59. The contract was awarded to EVEREST TAXIS LTD on 18 July 2026. Its awarded value is £35,880, covering the same stated value for the procurement. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The procurement was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The published process identifies transport services as the main category and concerns one requirement for the Birch Wood School SEN taxi service. No separate lots or alternative award recipients are identified.

This award provides a clear example of Leicestershire County Council purchasing a dedicated school taxi transport service through an open procedure. It will be most relevant to established taxi and passenger transport operators with the operational capacity to deliver a contracted school journey reliably for the named school. The selected supplier is EVEREST TAXIS LTD, recorded as a large organisation, while the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. A competitor targeting similar council requirements would therefore need to demonstrate sufficient scale, dependable vehicle and driver availability, and the ability to manage a public-sector school transport commitment. The buyer and requirement indicate a focused market for specialist education-related taxi services in Leicestershire.
