Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured transport using wheelchair-accessible vehicles for pupils with special educational needs, on the Coalville-to-Birkett House School route. This is a passenger transport service, with delivery in England.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to BD Ride Ltd through an open procedure. The award date was 13 August 2026 and the awarded value was £34,000. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 August 2027. The tender deadline was 13 August 2026. The requirement was procured as a single service, with suitability recorded as not aimed at SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For a supplier considering this buyer’s future requirement, the demonstrated need is dedicated school transport on the Coalville-to-Birkett House School route using wheelchair-accessible vehicles. A credible competitor would need to provide vehicles suitable for wheelchair users and deliver this specific passenger service. The successful supplier was BD Ride Ltd. The procurement establishes demand for a defined school journey rather than general transport work.
