Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured a passenger transport service for SEN20358, identified as “SEN-TAXI-A L P Nuneaton”. The requirement is for taxi transport associated with special educational needs, rather than the supply of vehicles or general transport infrastructure. It falls within transport services and is categorised as a service contract. Delivery is stated as being in England, with Nuneaton identified in the procurement title. The council is the buying organisation, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. This opportunity is therefore relevant to taxi firms and passenger transport operators able to provide council-arranged transport services for special educational needs journeys in or around the Nuneaton area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. Tender submissions were due by 10 September 2026 at 23:59. The tender’s estimated value was £43,706, while the active award value was £43,720. The contract was awarded to JOHAL TAXIS on 13 September 2026. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one award. The procurement data records the requirement as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. No award or contract cancellation or termination is recorded.

Although this contract has been awarded, it indicates a defined local demand for specialist taxi-based passenger transport commissioned by Leicestershire County Council. Businesses considering future opportunities with this buyer would need to operate reliable taxi or passenger transport services, organise journeys for children or passengers with special educational needs, and provide dependable day-to-day capacity for a council-managed requirement. Credibility would come from experience in contracted passenger transport, suitable vehicles and drivers, strong scheduling and communication, and the operational resilience to maintain service continuity. The award also shows that the council uses an open procurement route for this type of requirement, giving established transport operators a clear model for monitoring similar council demand.
