Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council has completed a procurement process to provide transport services, specifically a taxi service for Birkett House School, under the title "SEN18762-SEN-TAXI - Birkett House School". This award, classified under the CPV code 60000000 for Transport services (excluding waste transport), was executed through an open procedure. The process was held in the England region of the United Kingdom, with the tender period concluding on 15th July 2026 and the contract period spanning from 24th August 2026 to 31st July 2027. The total contract value is £24,960, and GVN CABS LTD was the successful supplier.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the transport sector, particularly those capable of providing specialised school transportation services. While the award has been given to a large-scale company, GVN CABS LTD, similar enterprises with expertise in fulfilling education-related transport requirements could find potential business growth in similar future tenders. Firms that can offer reliable and cost-effective transportation solutions tailored to educational institutions, particularly those serving special educational needs, would be well-suited to compete in such procurement processes.
