Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured taxi transport services associated with Glenfield Primary School. The requirement is identified as SEN taxi provision, indicating transport for the school’s special educational needs service. The listed delivery location is England; Glenfield Primary School is named in the requirement, and the council is based in Leicester. This is a school transport service rather than a purchase of vehicles or general transport infrastructure. The available description identifies the school and service type but does not set out the journey pattern or passenger numbers.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to VICTORIA CABS. The council used an open procedure. The award was made on 24 September 2026, at £42,954. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £42,954. The procurement is presented as a single requirement, with no lots described. The only stated suitability information says it was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the process information.

This award demonstrates demand from Leicestershire County Council for dedicated taxi transport linked to special educational needs provision at Glenfield Primary School. A supplier seeking to compete for a similar requirement from this buyer would need to provide reliable school transport services and the operational capacity to serve the school’s needs throughout the contract term. The selected supplier was identified as a large organisation, while the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; this points to a requirement framed for a supplier with capacity beyond those categories. The published scope does not describe vehicle specifications, passenger volumes, staffing credentials or particular accreditations, so those cannot be treated as established requirements for a future competition.
