Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council has successfully completed the procurement process titled "SEN19019 -SEN-TAXI-Foxfields Academy" under an open procedure. The process involved contracting for transport services, specifically within the scope of Special Educational Needs (SEN) transport, primarily covering the region of England, United Kingdom. The tender was initiated with a tender period ending on 15th July 2026, with the award announced on 25th July 2026. The contract period is set from 24th August 2026 to 31st July 2027. The entire procurement process falls under the services category and focuses on a contract valued at £24,700.

This opportunity opens up potential for growth in the transport services sector, especially for businesses capable of providing specialised SEN taxi services. While the contract was awarded to NMI TAXIS LTD, a large supplier, businesses that can offer competitive, compliant transport solutions tailored for educational settings may find similar opportunities lucrative. Companies with existing expertise or those aiming to expand into niche transport services, particularly within the public procurement landscape, would be well-suited to compete in comparable future tenders.
