Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured transport services for Ashmount School under the requirement titled SEN18708-SEN-TAXI-ASHMOUNT SCHOOL. The service is a taxi or similar passenger transport arrangement supporting the school’s special educational needs provision. Delivery is in England, with the council as the buying organisation. The procurement is categorised as services and falls under CPV 60000000, transport services excluding waste transport. The requirement is focused on transporting pupils connected with Ashmount School rather than supplying vehicles or general transport infrastructure. Businesses specialising in passenger transport, school transport or contracted taxi operations are the most directly relevant potential suppliers, particularly those able to organise and deliver reliable journeys for a school-based service in the council’s area.

The procurement has been completed through an open procedure. The award was made to ADAMS TRANSPORT on 20 July 2026 for £19,448 including the stated currency of GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The original tender had a submission deadline of 15 July 2026 at 23:59. The contract was evaluated through the open competition route, and the published outcome records one active award to one supplier. The procurement was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The awarded value and period apply to this single requirement for Ashmount School transport and should not be treated as a wider council-wide transport contract.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award is evidence that Leicestershire County Council buys dedicated, school-linked passenger transport for special educational needs provision. The requirement indicates a focused service rather than a large multi-site transport framework, so relevant competitors would need a proportionate operational capability: suitable passenger transport provision, dependable scheduling and the ability to manage a defined school transport requirement. Passenger transport operators and taxi businesses with experience serving schools or similar assisted-journey requirements would be best placed to assess the opportunity. The selected supplier’s success also shows that the council uses an open competitive route for this type of service, making procurement readiness and a clear, credible service offer important when comparable requirements return.
