Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured taxi transport services for Maplewell Hall School, classified as transport services. The requirement is identified as SEN taxi transport, indicating transport associated with special educational needs. The work is located in England. The procurement record does not give a route, passenger numbers, vehicle specification or further description of the service, so its stated scope is limited to taxi transport for the school. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based in Leicester. This is a school transport service requirement rather than a purchase of vehicles or general transport infrastructure.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to PREMIER TAXIS LEICESTER LTD on 21 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £28,000. The contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The estimated procurement value was also £28,000. The council used an open procedure. The tender deadline was 20 October 2026. The award information identifies one supplier and one requirement; no lot breakdown or evaluation criteria are stated. The outcome is therefore a completed award for SEN taxi transport to Maplewell Hall School, rather than a current opportunity to submit a bid.

For suppliers assessing similar school transport work from Leicestershire County Council, this award demonstrates demand for dedicated taxi services linked to a special educational needs school. A credible competitor would need to provide dependable taxi transport suited to the school’s requirements and the needs of its passengers. The award was made through an open procedure, so competing effectively would also require the ability to respond to a public tender. The published requirement does not detail vehicle adaptations, safeguarding checks, driver qualifications, passenger capacity or route arrangements; these should not be assumed from this award. The successful supplier was a taxi business, making relevant transport operating experience and the capacity to deliver a school-focused service the clearest commercial fit for this buyer’s requirement.
