Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured passenger transport services for Foxfields Academy under requirement SEN19019. The work is categorised as transport services and concerns the movement of passengers in England. The requirement is a service contract for a named academy rather than a general transport framework. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are taxi companies, private-hire operators and other passenger transport providers able to deliver organised school-related transport for the council and academy. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The procurement relates specifically to Foxfields Academy, so suppliers would need to assess their ability to provide dependable transport in the relevant English operating area.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids had to be submitted by 15 July 2026 at 23:59. The contract was awarded to NMI TAXIS LTD on 25 July 2026 for £24,700, and its contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The estimated tender value was also £24,700. The award is active. The procurement was treated as a services contract and was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one requirement for Foxfields Academy. No separate lot structure or detailed evaluation weighting is stated in the procurement information.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it gives passenger transport businesses a clear indication of Leicestershire County Council’s demand for dedicated transport linked to Foxfields Academy. The successful supplier is NMI TAXIS LTD, showing that an established taxi operator can meet the council’s requirements for this type of service. Businesses considering similar future work should be able to provide passenger transport reliably for an education setting, organise delivery across the relevant area and maintain sufficient operational capacity throughout the service period. The council’s decision to mark the opportunity unsuitable for SMEs suggests that suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate scale and resilience rather than rely on a very small or informal operating model.
