Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured special educational needs taxi transport associated with Forest House School. The requirement falls within transport services and is categorised as a services contract. Delivery is in England, with the buying organisation based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The named requirement is specific to Forest House School rather than a general transport framework, so it is most relevant to operators able to provide reliable taxi transport for a school-related SEN service. The council is the buyer and the selected supplier is ADAMS TRANSPORT, a large transport business based in Leicester. The work concerns passenger transport rather than vehicle supply, infrastructure or waste transport.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The tender deadline was 3 August 2026 at 23:59. The contract was awarded to ADAMS TRANSPORT on 5 August 2026 for £15,236, with a contract period from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. There is one requirement and one award; the awarded value is stated in pounds sterling. The tender was assessed as a services procurement, and its suitability information indicates that it was not intended for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, and the contracting process is complete. The available outcome identifies one supplier and does not indicate a cancelled award or terminated contract.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined requirement for school-related SEN taxi transport from Leicestershire County Council, delivered over an academic-year-scale contract period. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to operate passenger taxis or comparable vehicles, organise dependable scheduled transport, and have sufficient operational capacity to serve a school-specific council contract. The successful supplier is recorded as a large business, while the procurement was not assessed as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Relevant businesses should therefore be established transport operators able to manage public-sector service delivery, maintain reliable coverage in and around Leicester, and meet the council’s requirements for SEN school transport.
