Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured passenger transport services for the SEN20458 requirement, titled “SEN Taxi – Magpie Learning Centre – Hospital”. The requirement concerns transport connected with Magpie Learning Centre and a hospital, under the broad category of transport services. Delivery is in England. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The service sits within the public sector’s specialist education and healthcare transport needs, so it is relevant to businesses operating passenger transport services rather than general goods or construction suppliers. The requirement is presented as a single service rather than a multi-lot programme, and the selected supplier is Belgrave Cars.

This procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender closed on 17 September 2026, and the contract was awarded to Belgrave Cars on 18 September 2026. The awarded value is £18,512. The contract runs from 23 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender was classified as a services procurement with a transport-services classification. The award is active and the overall tender status is complete. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one requirement; there are no separate lots or multiple awards to distinguish. The procurement was not identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award is commercially relevant to established passenger transport operators able to provide specialist taxi services for a public-sector requirement linking an SEN learning setting with hospital transport. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need reliable vehicles, drivers and day-to-day operational capacity to deliver scheduled passenger journeys safely and consistently. The buyer’s decision shows demand for a single-provider transport solution rather than a broad framework or supply contract. Businesses with experience managing regular education or healthcare-related passenger services, maintaining dependable availability and meeting public-sector service expectations would be better placed to compete when this type of requirement returns. The selected supplier is a large transport business, indicating that operational scale and dependable delivery are important features of the market.
