## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured transport services for the New Leaf Triangle (Main) requirement, described as SEN taxi transport. The service is for delivery in England. The procurement is focused on providing transport rather than buying vehicles or other goods; the available description does not set out passenger numbers, routes, journey frequency or specific operational arrangements. The buyer is Leicestershire County Council, based in Leicester. This requirement sits within passenger transport services and is relevant to operators able to deliver the specified SEN taxi transport service for the council.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to SMH Travel following an open procedure. The award date was 9 October 2026. The awarded value is £25,610. The contract period runs from 13 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender estimated the same value as the awarded contract. The requirement was procured as a single, main service, rather than being divided into separately described lots. The data records that the opportunity was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements are stated in the available procurement details.

This award shows that Leicestershire County Council buys SEN taxi transport as a defined transport service, with the work delivered in England and an individual contract of modest scale. SMH Travel was selected, providing a market reference for the type of provider that secured this requirement. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement from this buyer would need to be capable of delivering SEN taxi transport to the council’s service needs and managing the delivery of the contracted transport. The procurement details do not describe particular accreditations, vehicle specifications, staffing qualifications, route volumes or passenger numbers, so they cannot establish additional capability thresholds. The SME-unsuitable designation suggests that smaller providers should assess the buyer’s future requirements and delivery capacity carefully before pursuing comparable work. This is evidence of demand, not an invitation to bid on this completed contract.
