Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured passenger transport services for Forest House School under requirement SEN19258-SEN-TAXI. The work is a specialist school taxi service, intended to transport pupils to and from the school. The procurement falls within the broad category of transport services, under CPV 60000000. Delivery is in England, United Kingdom. The council is the buying organisation and will use the service for its education transport requirement. The named requirement is specific to Forest House School rather than a general transport framework, so it is most relevant to operators experienced in providing regular school journeys, managing scheduled passenger transport and meeting the practical needs of a special educational needs transport service.

The procurement has been completed following an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 3 August 2026 at 23:59. The contract was awarded to ADAMS TRANSPORT on 5 August 2026 for £21,398. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award is active and covers the single stated requirement for Forest House School. The published procurement value and awarded value are both £21,398. The opportunity was evaluated through an open competitive process; the available record identifies the procurement as a services contract but does not set out a separate quality, price or weighting breakdown. The procurement is marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a competitor, this award demonstrates a defined requirement from Leicestershire County Council for dedicated school transport linked to a special educational needs setting. A credible supplier for a future equivalent requirement would need the vehicles, drivers, scheduling capability and operational capacity to provide dependable, repeated journeys for pupils throughout a school-year service period. Experience of education transport and of supporting passengers with additional needs would be directly relevant, alongside robust safeguarding, passenger assistance, route management and contingency arrangements. The award also shows that the council uses an open procedure for this type of service and that the requirement was treated as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, pointing towards an established operator with sufficient scale and resources.
