Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured transport services for Forest Way School under requirement SEN19466-SEN-TAXI-Forest Way School. The service is described as taxi transport for special educational needs provision, falling within the wider category of passenger transport services. Delivery is in England, for the council’s school transport requirement. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The requirement is a service rather than the supply of goods or construction works. The opportunity is therefore relevant to taxi operators and other passenger transport providers able to support a school-based special educational needs transport service for this council.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The contract was awarded to NMI TAXIS LTD on 10 August 2026 for £25,974. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £25,974. The requirement was evaluated through the open tender process, with the award recorded as an active award to the selected supplier. The tender was classified as transport services and identified as a service procurement. The procurement record treats the requirement as a single service rather than presenting separate lots or awards. The council’s published outcome confirms the successful supplier and the agreed contract value.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined requirement for taxi transport supporting Forest Way School and special educational needs provision. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to operate passenger transport services, provide taxi capacity suitable for school journeys, and organise dependable delivery for a public-sector education client. The successful award to NMI TAXIS LTD indicates that an established taxi business can meet this buyer’s requirement. The procurement was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so businesses should assess whether they have the operational scale and organisational capacity expected for this council-managed school transport service.
