Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured transport services for Foxfields Academy, under the requirement titled SEN19014-SEN-TAXI-Foxfields Academy. The service is a special educational needs taxi transport arrangement, falling within the broader category of passenger transport services. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. Delivery is in England. The requirement is for a service rather than goods or construction works, and is focused on transporting pupils associated with Foxfields Academy. This is a single requirement rather than a multi-lot procurement. The opportunity is therefore relevant to businesses providing contracted taxi, passenger transport or specialist school transport services, particularly those able to operate within the council’s area and support regular academy journeys.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids were due by 30 July 2026 at 23:59. Leicestershire County Council awarded the contract to A ZOOM LTD on 3 August 2026. The awarded value is £29,562, and the contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award is active. The procurement was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The available outcome identifies one successful supplier and one awarded value; it does not set out separate lot awards or an additional evaluation weighting. This is therefore an awarded passenger transport service contract with a defined delivery period and a named taxi operator as supplier.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined requirement for contracted taxi transport connected with a special educational needs academy and shows that Leicestershire County Council uses an open procedure for this type of purchase. Businesses likely to be credible when a comparable requirement returns will need to operate as established passenger transport or taxi providers, with sufficient vehicles, drivers and operational coordination to deliver regular academy journeys reliably. The procurement’s classification and title indicate that experience in school, academy or special educational needs transport would be directly relevant. The stated suitability assessment favours organisations able to demonstrate greater operational capacity than typical small or voluntary providers, while a Leicester-area base may help with local delivery and council-facing administration.
