Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured passenger transport by taxi for a special educational needs requirement serving Leicester College’s Abbey Park Campus. The work is transport services, with delivery in England. The stated scope is limited to this named campus and requirement; no further journey, passenger or vehicle details are provided in the procurement description. This is a council transport contract rather than a general college transport service, so its relevance is strongest for taxi operators able to provide the required transport for this specific educational setting. The named buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to SUKH TAXI. The award date was 30 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £6,700. The award records a contract period from 5 October 2026 to 31 July 2027; the tender’s estimated period was shorter, ending on 25 November 2026. The competition used an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 29 September 2026. The procurement was not divided into lots. No evaluation criteria or specific eligibility requirements are recorded. The stated suitability information indicates that the opportunity was not designated as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Leicestershire County Council for taxi transport connected with special educational needs at Leicester College’s Abbey Park Campus. Taxi operators serving Leicester and able to undertake education-related passenger transport are the closest fit when this buyer next needs comparable provision. A credible competitor would need to show that it can deliver reliable transport for the campus requirement and meet any operational, safeguarding or passenger-support requirements set out when the work is next competed; these details are not established here. The council used an open competition and selected a taxi supplier, making the award a useful indication of the route used and supplier type chosen for this requirement. The recorded suitability designation suggests smaller businesses should check the future opportunity’s conditions carefully.
