Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured transport services for Maplewell Hall School under the requirement titled SEN18673-SEN-TAXI-Maplewell Hall School. The service is a special educational needs taxi transport requirement, intended to support travel associated with the school. The procurement is categorised as services, specifically transport services rather than goods, construction or waste transport. Delivery is stated as being in England, United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. This opportunity is therefore relevant to taxi operators and other passenger transport providers able to deliver school-related SEN transport for a local authority in the Leicestershire area. The named requirement concerns one school rather than a broad county-wide transport programme.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Leicestershire County Council selected SMART PLUS TAXIS LTD on 16 July 2026. The awarded value is £19,370. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 15 July 2026 at 11:59pm. The procurement used a tender process, with the method described as “Other”. The requirement was assessed as a transport services contract and was not divided into published lots. The award is active, and the selected supplier is SMART PLUS TAXIS LTD. The contract covers the same SEN taxi transport requirement for Maplewell Hall School. The outcome provides a clear reference point for the buyer’s purchasing route, contract scale and timing for this specific school transport service.

This award is commercially relevant to established taxi and passenger transport businesses serving school journeys for pupils with special educational needs. A credible future supplier would need to provide dependable vehicle-based transport for a school requirement, operate safely and consistently, and manage the practical demands of scheduled journeys. Local knowledge of Leicester and the surrounding Leicestershire area would be useful for delivering the service efficiently. The buyer’s decision also indicates demand for a focused, school-specific transport service rather than a large general transport operation. The selected supplier is recorded as a large business, while the opportunity was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Competitors should therefore assess whether their scale, operational resilience and experience match the buyer’s expectations for SEN school transport.
