Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured passenger transport by taxi for special educational needs (SEN) users travelling to Leicester College’s Freemens Park Campus. The requirement falls within transport services and concerns a specific taxi route or service associated with the campus. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. Delivery is in England, with the named destination in Leicester. This is a service opportunity for taxi and passenger-transport operators able to provide suitable travel arrangements for college users with special educational needs. The scope published is focused on transport provision rather than vehicle supply, construction or general college services, making it relevant to firms operating in accessible, education or supported passenger transport.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed on 1 September 2026 at 23:59. The contract was awarded on 3 September 2026 to ABC Taxis Leicester for £6,240. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The awarded supplier is listed as active, and the tender itself is complete. The opportunity was treated as a service contract and had an estimated value of £6,240. The award covers the taxi transport requirement for Leicester College’s Freemens Park Campus. The published process records one successful supplier and does not identify separate lots. The procurement was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For a competitor, this award is evidence that Leicestershire County Council purchases defined SEN taxi transport for Leicester College’s Freemens Park Campus through an open procurement route. A credible future supplier would need to operate taxi or passenger-transport services, understand the practical needs of special educational needs passengers and provide dependable journeys to a college campus. Local operating capability in Leicester would be commercially relevant, as the successful supplier is ABC Taxis Leicester. The requirement appears suited to an established operator with sufficient vehicles, drivers and operational control to deliver a dedicated education-related transport service reliably. Firms tracking council transport demand could use this procurement to benchmark the type of service and local delivery capability that satisfied this buyer.
