The requirement is a transport service rather than goods, construction or general logistics, covering the movement of pupils with special educational needs to and from the school. The named delivery area is England, with the route linked to Hinckley Parks Primary School. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement forms part of its education transport provision. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are passenger transport operators, taxi companies and other providers able to deliver a dedicated school transport route for pupils with additional needs. The service is focused on one named school link rather than a broad regional transport contract. The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Bids were due by 9 August 2026 at 23:59. The contract was awarded to ALI TAXIS LTD on 10 August 2026 for £32,968 including the published contract value. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The procurement was evaluated through the open competition described for this requirement; the available data does not state a separate quality, price or weighting breakdown. The award is active and covers the single SEN taxi service for the Hinckley Parks Primary School Foxfields Link. Leicestershire County Council is the buyer, and the recorded award identifies one supplier rather than multiple awarded operators or separately priced lots. This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist school passenger transport from Leicestershire County Council, at a scale suited to an operator managing a dedicated route over an academic-year-style service period. A credible future competitor would need to provide reliable taxi or passenger transport operations for pupils with special educational needs, organise regular journeys to and from a named primary school, and maintain the capacity to deliver the route throughout the service period. Relevant businesses include established taxi firms and passenger transport operators with suitable vehicles, competent drivers and robust day-to-day scheduling. The requirement is particularly relevant to operators serving Hinckley and the surrounding area, or those able to provide dependable local coverage for a school transport link. ## Notice SEN19454-SEN-TAXI-Hinckley Parks Primary School (Foxfields Link) ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8ac3b783-6bd1-4887-a6c5-4aa8cd47b5ab | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 9 Aug 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 10 Aug 2026 | | Contract period | 24 Aug 2026 - 31 Jul 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £32,968 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £32,968 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Leicestershire County Council | | Locality | LEICESTER | | Postcode area | Leicester | | Postcode | LE3 8RA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | | Local authority | Blaby | | Electoral ward | Glenfield Faire | | Westminster constituency | Mid Leicestershire | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ALI TAXIS LTD | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 60 - Transport services (excl.
