## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured specialist transport services for IVESHEAD School, identified as an SEN taxi requirement. The service is for transporting pupils to and from the school, although the published scope does not set out individual routes, passenger numbers or vehicle requirements. The procurement is categorised as transport services, within the wider services sector. Delivery is in England, with the buying organisation based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. This opportunity is therefore relevant to operators providing school transport, taxi services or other passenger transport capable of supporting special educational needs travel arrangements for a county council and school setting.

The procurement has been completed following an open procedure. BA TAXI LTD was awarded the contract on 11 September 2026 for £25,714. The contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender had an estimated value of £25,714 and required submissions by 9 September 2026. The award is active and covers the full SEN taxi requirement for IVESHEAD School. The published evaluation basis is the open-procedure process; detailed quality, price, eligibility and technical criteria are not set out in the available procurement information. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award provides a clear example of Leicestershire County Council’s demand for dedicated school transport for pupils with special educational needs. A competitor seeking similar work would need to demonstrate a reliable passenger transport operation able to serve a school-based requirement for the duration of a substantial academic-year service period. Relevant businesses are established taxi, private-hire or passenger-transport operators with the organisational capacity to manage scheduled school journeys and meet the council’s operational expectations. The route to market was an open procedure, so suppliers competing for comparable council requirements would need to monitor formal tenders, prepare a complete competitive response and show that their service can support SEN school transport at county level.
