Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured special educational needs taxi transport for Ashfield Academy. The requirement falls within passenger transport services and covers delivery in England. It is a service contract for a supplier able to provide suitable taxi or private-hire transport associated with the academy’s needs. The council is the buying organisation and the selected supplier is YAKUB TAXIS LTD, based in Leicester. The opportunity is relevant to taxi companies, private-hire operators and passenger transport businesses with experience of supporting children or young people with special educational needs. Suppliers considering similar council requirements should assess their ability to deliver reliable, appropriately managed transport for an educational setting and to operate within the required service area.

The procurement has been completed following an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 25 June 2026 at 23:59. The contract was awarded to YAKUB TAXIS LTD on 28 July 2026 for £51,380 including the stated currency of GBP, against an estimated tender value of £51,480. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award is active and covers the full requirement for Ashfield Academy. The published procurement information identifies special educational needs taxi transport as the service and records the contract as a single requirement. The award outcome shows that YAKUB TAXIS LTD was the selected supplier through the open competition.

This award provides evidence of a defined council requirement for specialist school transport serving Ashfield Academy, at a scale suited to an established local or regional operator. Businesses considering future opportunities of this type would need dependable taxi or private-hire capacity, reliable vehicle availability and the operational discipline to deliver regular passenger transport for an educational setting. Experience of special educational needs transport would help demonstrate understanding of passenger welfare, punctuality, communication and consistent service delivery. A Leicester-based operator secured this award, indicating that local knowledge and practical coverage of the council’s area may be commercially relevant. The requirement is therefore most suited to transport firms able to combine school-service reliability with suitable experience of SEN passenger needs.
