Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured passenger transport services for SEN19047, identified as SEN taxi transport for Bowman Academy. The requirement is a service rather than goods or construction, covering transport for pupils with special educational needs. The relevant service category is transport services, excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000). Delivery is in England, with the council based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The procurement is therefore relevant to businesses providing passenger transport or taxi services able to support school-related special educational needs journeys for a local authority. The named buyer is Leicestershire County Council, which is responsible for procuring the service.

The procurement has been completed following an open procedure. The submission deadline was 24 July 2026 at 23:59, and the contract was awarded on 27 July 2026. CIRCLE TAXIS LTD was selected as supplier for £25,480. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £25,480. The opportunity was assessed as a services procurement and was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The recorded outcome is an active award to CIRCLE TAXIS LTD, covering the SEN taxi requirement for Bowman Academy.

For competing passenger transport businesses, this award provides a clear example of Leicestershire County Council’s demand for dedicated special educational needs taxi transport linked to a named academy. A credible future supplier would need to deliver dependable school transport services for children with additional needs, with sufficient operational capacity to provide the required journeys throughout the contract service period. The successful supplier was recorded as a large organisation, indicating that the buyer selected a provider with an established scale of operation. Businesses monitoring this buyer should therefore assess their ability to provide consistent taxi or passenger transport delivery, manage local authority requirements and demonstrate capacity comparable with the awarded operator.
