Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured passenger transport services for the requirement titled “SEN18800-SEN-TAXI – Birkett House SENIORS – Countesthorpe”. The service is a taxi or other transport operation supporting journeys associated with Birkett House Seniors in Countesthorpe. It falls within transport services, excluding waste transport, and is classified under CPV 60000000. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The procurement is for services rather than goods or construction works, with delivery in England. The requirement is therefore relevant to businesses providing passenger transport or taxi services, particularly those able to organise and deliver a dedicated local service for the named destination and passenger group.

The procurement has been completed following an open procedure. Bids closed on 15 July 2026, and the contract was awarded to NMI TAXI LTD on 18 July 2026. The awarded value is £25,480. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £25,480. The award is active and covers the same transport service requirement. The published outcome identifies one selected supplier and one service requirement, with evaluation conducted through the open tender process. The procurement was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that the buyer’s stated suitability assessment did not target those organisation types.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates established demand from Leicestershire County Council for dedicated taxi-based passenger transport linked to a named local requirement. A credible competitor for similar work would need to operate reliable passenger transport services, provide taxi capacity for the required journeys, and organise day-to-day delivery against a council-managed service specification. The successful supplier was recorded as a large organisation, while the procurement was not assessed as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Businesses seeking comparable council work should therefore be able to demonstrate sufficient operational scale, dependable vehicle and driver availability, and experience delivering consistent contracted passenger transport.
