## Summary

Leicestershire County Council commissioned taxi transport for Bowman Academy, under the requirement titled SEN20642-SEN-TAXI. The service falls within passenger transport services and is intended to meet a special educational needs (SEN) transport requirement. The recorded delivery location is England; the procurement does not identify a more specific destination. This is a council transport service rather than a purchase of vehicles or general transport infrastructure. The scope is described as transport for the academy, with no further journey, passenger-volume or operational details in the available requirement. Taxi operators and providers experienced in arranging transport for an education setting are the most directly relevant businesses.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following an open procedure. Premier Taxis Leicester Ltd was selected, with an award value of £17,680. The award date was 6 October 2026. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender deadline was 4 October 2026. The published data does not set out evaluation weightings or a detailed scoring basis, nor does it describe separate lots or lot-specific awards. Leicestershire County Council is the buyer. The recorded suitability assessment marks the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, a relevant consideration for smaller operators assessing comparable council contracts. The award is active, with no indication here of cancellation or termination.

For taxi businesses that did not win, this award demonstrates a specific council requirement for student transport to Bowman Academy, rather than a broad school transport or fleet contract. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to provide taxi transport suited to an education setting and be able to deliver the required journeys reliably throughout the school-year contract period. The selection of an established local taxi company suggests that operators with practical local service capacity and experience organising passenger journeys are relevant competitors. The buyer marked this opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so businesses in those categories should take that assessment into account when considering comparable requirements. The award provides a concrete example of the type of SEN taxi service this council procures.
