Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council has completed the procurement process for the "SEN15621" contract, focusing on transport services, specifically a taxi contract for special educational needs (SEN). The procedure was open, catering to businesses across the transport industry in England, United Kingdom. The contract, valued at £2,300, was procured through an open procedure and awarded to NMI Taxi Ltd. The tender stage ended on 10th August 2025, followed by the contract period running from 26th August 2025 to 3rd October 2025. Although the contract has been awarded, the process remains relevant for businesses as it highlights opportunities in public sector transportation services.

Such contracts can present appealing growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in transport services, such as taxi companies that specialise in school transportation for children with special educational needs. While the awarded party, NMI Taxi Ltd, is a large enterprise, the tender process was open to SMEs, signifying potential openings for similar businesses in future procurement cycles. SMEs that can deliver quality, reliable transport services at competitive prices, with a strong understanding of the needs and constraints within the SEN sector, would have been well-suited to compete for this contract.
