## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured passenger transport services for Forest Way School, specifically a special educational needs taxi service. The requirement sits within the wider category of transport services and is intended to support the school’s transport arrangements for pupils with special educational needs. Delivery is in England, with the buying authority based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The procurement is a service rather than a goods or construction contract. The named requirement, SEN19723-SEN-TAXI, indicates a focused school transport arrangement rather than a general taxi framework or wider fleet operation. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are therefore passenger transport providers, taxi companies and other operators able to provide planned school journeys for a specialist education setting.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender deadline was 9 August 2026 at 23:59. The estimated procurement value was £22,360. A1 LEICESTER TAXI LTD was awarded the contract on 11 August 2026 for £22,360. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award is active, and the procurement record identifies Leicestershire County Council as the buyer. The opportunity was evaluated through the open procedure, with the published information identifying the requirement as transport services for Forest Way School. The award relates to one defined school transport requirement, rather than multiple separately awarded lots or suppliers.

This award demonstrates a defined local demand for specialist school passenger transport from Leicestershire County Council. The strongest future competitors would be established taxi or passenger transport operators able to organise reliable, repeatable journeys for a special educational needs school and maintain service continuity across the school year. Relevant strengths would include suitable vehicles, dependable drivers, effective scheduling and the operational capacity to manage regular pupil transport rather than occasional private-hire work. Local knowledge of Leicester and surrounding areas would help with route planning and day-to-day resilience. A business assessing similar requirements should also be able to evidence sound safeguarding, communication and passenger-care practices appropriate to school transport, even though specific accreditation requirements are not set out here.
