Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured transport services for its SEN taxi requirement serving John Wycliffe Primary School. The work is identified as a school transport service; the recorded delivery location is England, with no more specific destination stated. The requirement is a single school-specific service rather than a broader transport programme. The council is the buyer, and the selected provider is a Leicester-based taxi business, indicating that the procurement was delivered by a local transport operator. This is relevant to passenger transport companies able to provide taxi services for a school-related requirement. The procurement description does not set out further details of passenger numbers, routes, vehicle specifications or operational arrangements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to BELGRAVE CARS. The award date was 1 October 2026, and the awarded value was £2,500. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The procurement used an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 30 September 2026. The published data describes one requirement for John Wycliffe Primary School and records the same £2,500 value for the overall tender and the award. No award evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions are stated in the procurement details. The contract is for transport services, with the recorded delivery location in England.

The award demonstrates a buyer requirement for school-related taxi transport on a defined, school-specific contract, fulfilled by a Leicester-based operator. Transport businesses considering similar council work would need to be credible providers of taxi services and able to organise delivery for a school requirement. A local operating base may be commercially relevant to serving this buyer, as the selected supplier is based in Leicester, although no formal locality condition is stated. The requirement is modest in scale and is tied to a single named school rather than a wide-area transport programme. The procurement does not identify vehicle standards, safeguarding checks, driver qualifications, service capacity or other technical requirements, so these cannot be treated as stated conditions for future competition.
