Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured passenger transport services for Maplewel Hall School’s SEN18976 route, described as a seven-seater MPV service for the High Meds route. The requirement is for a specialist school transport journey involving pupils with special educational needs, rather than general vehicle hire or standard taxi work. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. Delivery is in England, with the route serving Maplewel Hall School. The service is categorised as transport services and falls within the services sector. The selected supplier is NMI TAXI LTD, a Leicester-based transport business. The requirement therefore suits operators able to provide a suitable seven-seat passenger vehicle and dependable driver-led transport for a school route involving pupils with additional needs.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed on 15 July 2026 at 23:59. The contract was awarded to NMI TAXI LTD on 20 July 2026 for £31,200. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The procurement was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active and covers the complete requirement rather than separately identified lots. The published requirement and award describe a single seven-seater MPV transport service for Maplewel Hall School’s SEN18976 High Meds route. The award gives a clear indication of the council’s intended service duration, route-specific vehicle requirement and expenditure for this school transport need.

For suppliers that did not secure this award, the procurement demonstrates a recurring type of demand from Leicestershire County Council: dedicated, route-based transport for pupils with special educational needs using a seven-seat MPV. A credible competitor would need access to an appropriate passenger vehicle, the operational capacity to provide reliable scheduled school journeys, and the ability to manage a dedicated education transport service for pupils requiring additional support. The selected supplier was recorded as a large organisation, while the opportunity was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises; this indicates that scale and established operating capacity may be important when the council next considers a comparable requirement. Relevant operators should monitor this buyer’s specialist school transport activity and develop evidence of dependable route delivery, vehicle suitability and experience supporting education-sector passengers.
