Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured specialist educational-needs taxi transport for Bowman Academy. The requirement is classified as transport services and falls within the services category. Delivery is in England, with the council acting as the buying organisation. The procurement concerns the provision of taxi-based transport associated with the academy rather than the purchase of vehicles or other goods. This is a council-led passenger transport requirement, relevant to operators that provide contracted school transport and can organise journeys for pupils with special educational needs. The selected supplier is based in Markfield, Leicestershire, while the stated delivery location covers England.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed on 24 July 2026 at 23:59. The contract was awarded to PS TAXIS LTD on 28 July 2026 for £38,298, inclusive of the stated contract value. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award is active and covers the full transport requirement for Bowman Academy. The procurement was evaluated through the open tender process; the available outcome identifies PS TAXIS LTD as the selected supplier. The opportunity was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award indicates a defined requirement for specialist taxi transport connected with Bowman Academy and Leicestershire County Council. It is most relevant to established passenger transport operators able to provide reliable taxi services for school journeys and manage the operational demands of a council contract. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation, while the requirement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, suggesting that future competitors should be able to demonstrate comparable organisational capacity rather than offering an occasional or very small-scale service. Businesses monitoring this buyer should assess whether they can support the full requirement, maintain dependable vehicle and driver availability, and operate consistently across the stated delivery area.
