Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured wheelchair-accessible transport for a pupil with special educational needs from Broughton Astley to Birkett House School. The requirement is a school transport service, rather than the purchase of vehicles. The delivery location is described as England, with the route and destination identified in the requirement. The service is intended to provide accessible travel for the pupil between the named starting place and school. The procurement is categorised as transport services (CPV 60000000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to A ZOOM LTD following an open procedure. The award was made on 13 August 2026, and the awarded value was £30,000. The award records a contract period from 24 August 2026 to 31 August 2027. The tender information gives a closing date of 13 August 2026 and an estimated contract period ending 30 July 2027, so the award records a later end date. The tender’s estimated value was also £30,000. This is a single school-transport requirement; no lot structure or evaluation criteria are recorded.

For suppliers competing when Leicestershire County Council next procures this requirement, the central capability is delivering reliable, wheelchair-accessible transport for a pupil with special educational needs on the Broughton Astley–Birkett House School route. A credible competitor would need suitable accessible transport and the operational capacity to provide the specified school journey throughout the contract term. This award shows that the council used an open procedure and selected a taxi and transport operator for a single, defined pupil journey, rather than buying vehicles or commissioning a broad transport network. The service’s specialist accessibility requirement and school destination are therefore central to matching the buyer’s need. The tender marked the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that smaller suppliers should assess whether they can meet the council’s expected scale and delivery model.
