Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured passenger transport services for the SEN18799 route between Birkett House Seniors and Countesthorpe College. The requirement is a taxi service for transporting senior pupils, rather than the purchase of vehicles or general transport infrastructure. The delivery location is recorded as England, with the buying organisation based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. This is a single service requirement under the transport services category. Businesses suited to this type of work include taxi operators and passenger transport providers able to plan and deliver regular school-related journeys for pupils with special educational needs. The named route and educational setting indicate a focused local transport service rather than a broad county-wide passenger transport contract.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed on 15 July 2026 at 23:59, and the contract was awarded on 15 July 2026. NMI TAXI LTD was selected, with an awarded value of £30,160. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The procurement's estimated value was also £30,160. The award is active and covers the full requirement for the Birkett House Seniors to Countesthorpe College taxi service. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The evaluation basis is not set out in the available procurement details.

For a competitor, this award demonstrates a defined requirement for dedicated school passenger transport serving a special educational needs route between named Leicestershire establishments. A credible future supplier would need to operate taxi or passenger transport services, organise dependable journeys for senior pupils, and provide suitable operational capacity for the complete route requirement. Local knowledge of the Leicester and Countesthorpe area would be commercially relevant, as would the ability to coordinate with schools and maintain consistent service delivery throughout the academic contract period. The selected supplier is a large taxi business, showing that the buyer accepted a specialist transport operator rather than a generalist contractor. Providers tracking this council's SEN transport demand can use the route, service type and awarded scale as a benchmark for future competition.
