## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured passenger transport services for Leicester Therapeutic School under requirement SEN20480-SEN-TAXI-Leicester Therapeutic School. The service is described as transport services, covering taxi transport associated with the school’s needs. Delivery is in England, with the buying organisation based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The procurement falls within the services category and is relevant to taxi operators, private hire companies and passenger transport providers able to support education-related journeys for a therapeutic school. The named requirement indicates a focus on special educational needs transport, although the published information does not set out individual routes, passenger numbers, vehicle specifications or operating arrangements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 21 September 2026 to Master Cabs Leicester Ltd. The awarded value is £34,970. The wider contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 July 2027; the award record separately gives a period from 28 to 30 September 2026. The tender submission deadline was 20 September 2026 at 23:59. It was a tender for services using a procurement method described as “Other”. The recorded suitability assessment says the opportunity was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award was active, and the council selected one supplier for the requirement.

This award provides a clear example of Leicestershire County Council buying dedicated taxi or passenger transport for a therapeutic school and allocating a contract at a modest, defined service scale. It is commercially relevant to established local taxi firms, private hire operators and specialist school transport providers with sufficient vehicle and driver capacity for education-related journeys in the Leicester area. A credible future competitor would need to understand the practical demands of transporting pupils connected with special educational needs, organise reliable daily operations and meet the council’s route and service requirements. The successful supplier was a large Leicester-based company, indicating that local presence and operational capacity may be important when this requirement is next tested in the market.
