## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured specialist taxi transport services for Miller House School, under requirement SEN19456. The service is intended to transport passengers associated with the school and falls within the wider category of passenger transport services. Delivery is in England, United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. This is a service requirement rather than a supply of vehicles or a construction project. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are taxi operators and other passenger transport providers able to organise and deliver reliable school transport for a special educational needs setting. The requirement is specific to one school service and is managed by the county council’s assisted transport function.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The contract was awarded to A-STARS TAXIS LTD on 13 August 2026 for £23,750 GBP. The contract period runs from 24 October 2026 to 23 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 12 August 2026 at 11:00. The opportunity was evaluated through the open competition route, with the requirement categorised as transport services. The recorded tender value and awarded value are the same. The award is active and covers the full requirement for the Miller House School taxi service. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that the council’s route can accommodate smaller or socially focused transport providers.

This award demonstrates a defined local-authority demand for contracted taxi transport supporting a school in England. Competitors would need to provide dependable passenger transport, manage scheduled journeys consistently and understand the practical requirements of serving a special educational needs school. A credible provider would be an established taxi business or passenger transport operator with sufficient vehicles, drivers and operational resilience for the service, together with robust arrangements for safeguarding, communication, punctuality and handling passengers who may need additional support. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement can suit a smaller operator rather than only a large transport company. Providers with relevant school, assisted-transport or council-contract experience would be well placed when this buyer next reviews a comparable requirement.
