Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured transport services for Foxfields Academy. The requirement is identified as SEN taxi transport, indicating transport associated with special educational needs, but no route, passenger numbers, journey frequency or vehicle specification is set out in the procurement data. The buyer is Leicestershire County Council, based in Leicester. Delivery is stated to be in England; no more specific destination is identified. The work is categorised as a service and concerns passenger transport rather than goods or construction. This is a single named requirement for Foxfields Academy, rather than a wider transport programme described across multiple sites.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to PARAMJIT SINGH T/A PS TAXIS. The award was made on 10 August 2026, following an open procedure. The estimated tender value and awarded contract value are both £33,000. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The published information does not describe lots, eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria, so the basis on which tenders were assessed cannot be summarised. Leicestershire County Council selected one supplier for this requirement. The stated closing time for submissions was 23:59 on 10 August 2026.

For transport operators, this award is evidence that Leicestershire County Council buys taxi transport for Foxfields Academy. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to demonstrate the practical ability to provide dependable passenger transport for a special educational needs setting. The procurement gives no detail on routes, passenger volumes, journey schedules, vehicle adaptations, driver qualifications or safeguarding requirements, so it does not establish specific technical or accreditation thresholds. The buyer marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises; operators should take that stated assessment into account when judging fit. The requirement is a defined, single-school transport service, so relevant experience in delivering regular passenger journeys and sufficient operational capacity for the service would be pertinent.
