Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council is procuring wheelchair-accessible taxi transport for the Birkett House Seniors and Countesthorpe College service. The requirement falls within passenger transport services and is classified under CPV 60000000. Work will be delivered in England, supporting scheduled journeys for wheelchair users associated with the named service. This is a specialist transport requirement rather than a general vehicle hire contract: suppliers need to provide suitable taxi transport for passengers who use wheelchairs. The council is the buying organisation and the service is categorised as a public-sector service procurement. Businesses operating accessible taxi or passenger transport services should assess whether their fleet and operating model match this requirement.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: the buyer invited offers through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline set by the buyer was 28 July 2026 at 23:59. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its stated value is £35,880. This is a services procurement for passenger transport, with a single requirement covering delivery in England. The opportunity is identified as SEN19031-SEN-W/C TAXI-BIRKETT HOUSE SENIORS-COUNTDESTHORPE COLLEGE. The published suitability setting records the requirement as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations.

This opportunity suits suppliers already providing wheelchair-accessible taxi or passenger transport services through the relevant framework agreement. Well-placed businesses will have vehicles that can safely accommodate wheelchair users, together with the operational ability to provide reliable scheduled transport for the named service and college. Experience in accessible passenger transport would be directly relevant, particularly where suppliers can demonstrate dependable vehicle availability, suitable drivers and the capacity to maintain regular service delivery throughout the contract period. The requirement is aimed at established framework providers rather than standalone businesses seeking to enter through an open competition, and its recorded suitability settings point towards suppliers with the necessary specialist fleet and operating capacity.
