## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured a seven-seat vehicle service for SEN19700, transporting passengers from Huncote to Birkett House School. This is a passenger transport service for a school journey, rather than a vehicle purchase. The delivery location is stated as England; the named route identifies Huncote and Birkett House School. The requirement is a specific school transport service, so it is most relevant to operators able to provide suitable passenger transport for this journey and meet the council’s service needs.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to TARIQ RAJPUT HABIB T/A HABIB TAXIS. The award was made on 13 August 2026, with an awarded value of £27,000. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The council used an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 13 August 2026. The procurement was for a single stated requirement, a seven-seat vehicle service from Huncote to Birkett House School. No separate award criteria or additional selection requirements are recorded in the procurement details.

This award shows that Leicestershire County Council purchases dedicated school transport for pupils with special educational needs, including a seven-seat vehicle service on the Huncote to Birkett House School journey. A credible competitor for this requirement would need to operate passenger vehicles suitable for the specified journey and reliably deliver school transport services. The contract was awarded through an open procedure, providing evidence of the route by which the council sourced this service. The selected supplier was a taxi operator, indicating that a specialist school-transport contractor is not the only type of business able to perform this particular requirement. The procurement was identified as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so businesses should consider that signal when assessing their fit.
