Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured passenger transport services for SEN19163-SEN-TAXI-Bowman Academy. The requirement is a taxi or similar transport service associated with Bowman Academy, for transporting service users in England. It is classified as transport services rather than goods, construction or another type of service. The council is the buying organisation and is based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The named requirement indicates a dedicated journey or route connected with the academy and special educational needs provision. Suppliers operating taxis, private-hire vehicles or other suitable passenger transport services are the relevant market, particularly those able to provide organised school-related transport in the county.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. Bids had to be submitted by 23 July 2026 at 23:59. Leicestershire County Council awarded the contract to COALVILLE CABS LTD on 30 July 2026 for £28,236 (GBP). The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award is active and covers the full stated requirement. The published information identifies one supplier and one transport requirement. The award outcome means the procurement has moved beyond tendering and supplier selection; this is a record of an awarded contract, not an opportunity to submit a bid.

This award provides a clear indication that Leicestershire County Council purchases dedicated taxi transport linked to special educational needs provision at Bowman Academy. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to deliver reliable passenger transport for an education setting, organise journeys consistently throughout the contract period and operate in the relevant Leicestershire market. Local coverage and the ability to provide suitable vehicles and drivers would be commercially important, as would dependable scheduling and communication with the council and academy. The selected supplier was a large business, while the procurement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.
