Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured a transport service for SEN taxi journeys to Blessed Robert Sutton School in Measham. The requirement is for passenger transport supporting special educational needs, rather than a general goods, works or waste transport contract. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The stated delivery area is England, United Kingdom. The procurement is categorised as a service and concerns transport services for pupils travelling to the named school. The awarded supplier, Coalville Yellow Cabs Ltd., is based in the LE67 3LA area and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The tender deadline was 11 August 2026 at 9:00am. The contract was awarded to Coalville Yellow Cabs Ltd. on 12 August 2026 for £16,606 GBP. The award period runs from 14 October 2026 to 6 July 2027. The tender’s wider stated contract period was 24 August 2026 to 6 July 2027. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement concerns one SEN school transport requirement for Blessed Robert Sutton School in Measham; the recorded tender status is complete and the award status is active.

This award is useful market evidence for taxi operators, private-hire companies and other passenger transport providers serving Leicestershire. It shows a defined requirement for SEN school journeys to Blessed Robert Sutton School, bought by Leicestershire County Council through an open procedure and awarded to an SME. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need an operational taxi or passenger transport service, dependable capacity for scheduled school travel, and the ability to serve journeys associated with Measham and the wider English delivery area. Smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises were considered suitable for participation, indicating that the requirement can be relevant beyond large transport groups. The award also demonstrates a focused, single-school transport opportunity rather than a broad network contract.
