Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured transport services for Birkett House School under the requirement titled SEN18762-SEN-TAXI. The work is a specialist school taxi service, falling within the wider category of passenger transport services. Delivery is in England, for the school and its pupils. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement is classified under CPV 60000000, covering transport services other than waste transport. This is a service contract rather than the supply of goods or construction works. The opportunity is therefore relevant to operators providing contracted school transport, taxi services or other passenger transport arrangements for a local authority and a school setting.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The tender deadline was 15 July 2026 at 23:59. Leicestershire County Council awarded the contract to GVN CABS LTD on 25 July 2026 for £24,960. The awarded contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender records an estimated contract period from 14 October 2026 to 31 July 2027 and an estimated value of £24,960. The award is active. The procurement was classified as a services requirement, and the published information identifies the open procedure but does not set out an evaluation weighting or separate lots.

This award provides a clear example of Leicestershire County Council’s demand for contracted taxi transport connected with a special educational needs school. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this kind would be established passenger transport or taxi operators able to organise reliable school journeys, provide suitable vehicles and drivers, and manage routine service delivery for a school and council customer. Credibility would also depend on demonstrating operational capacity, dependable scheduling, safeguarding-conscious working practices and experience of serving pupils with additional needs. The buyer’s decision to appoint a large taxi operator indicates that a supplier must be able to deliver the whole requirement consistently, rather than treating it as occasional private-hire work.
