Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured taxi transport for the SEN20594 route serving the Foot Steps provision at All Saints Wigston ASD Unit. The requirement is a passenger transport service, rather than vehicle supply or general transport consultancy. The route name indicates a link to the specialist provision at the school unit; the procurement record places delivery in England but does not identify further route stops or a more precise operating area. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based in Leicester. This is a defined transport requirement associated with a particular special educational needs service, so it is most relevant to operators able to provide the specified taxi journey rather than suppliers offering unrelated council transport services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to DE MONTFORT TAXI LTD. The award was made on 30 September 2026 for £24,000. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The Council used an open procedure, with bids due by 29 September 2026. The estimated tender value was also £24,000. The procurement covers one route requirement; no separate lots are recorded. The available evaluation information does not state the scoring criteria, so the award basis cannot be described further. The tender was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The selected supplier is based in Leicester.

This award shows that Leicestershire County Council buys dedicated taxi transport for a specific special educational needs provision, with a defined route serving Foot Steps at All Saints Wigston ASD Unit. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to demonstrate that it can reliably operate the required journey for this specialist setting, with the vehicles, driver availability and day-to-day transport coordination the route demands. The Council used an open procedure, so suppliers should be prepared to compete through a formal tender rather than rely on direct appointment. The contract is a single, route-specific service rather than a broad transport package. Its awarded scale indicates a focused requirement; operators whose business is suited to delivering individual education transport routes are more relevant than firms dependent on larger, multi-route contracts.
