## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured passenger transport services for Foxfields Academy under the requirement titled SEN20267-SEN-TAXI-Foxfields Academy. The service falls within the broad category of transport services, covering the transport of pupils associated with a special educational needs setting. Delivery is in England, United Kingdom. The named buyer is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The requirement is a service contract rather than goods or construction works. It is relevant to operators providing organised passenger transport for education authorities and specialist education settings, particularly businesses able to manage scheduled journeys connected with an academy. The procurement concerns one defined requirement for Foxfields Academy, rather than a wider transport programme covering multiple named schools or service areas.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Bids were due by 2 September 2026 at 23:59. The contract was awarded to BD Ride Ltd on 4 September 2026 for £29,666. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender was classified as a services procurement, with an estimated value of £29,666. The award is active and covers the same passenger transport requirement for Foxfields Academy. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one award. The procurement’s recorded suitability assessment states that it was not intended for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. This is therefore an awarded requirement, not an unallocated opportunity for new bids.

For transport operators, this procurement demonstrates an established requirement from Leicestershire County Council for dedicated passenger transport linked to a special educational needs academy. A credible future competitor would need to provide dependable, organised transport services for education journeys and demonstrate the operational capacity to support a defined school-based requirement across the contract scope. The award to BD Ride Ltd shows that the council has used an open competitive route for this type of service and selected a large transport provider. Businesses monitoring this buyer should therefore be prepared to present a clear service model, sufficient vehicles and drivers, reliable day-to-day coordination, and experience delivering passenger transport for education or other structured public-sector routes. The opportunity is most relevant to established operators able to manage council contracting requirements at this scale.
