## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured SEN taxi transport services. The requirement sits within the wider transport services category and is intended for delivery in England. It concerns passenger transport for special educational needs, so the relevant market includes taxi and private hire operators able to provide journeys for children or young people requiring SEN transport. The buying organisation is Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall in Glenfield, Leicester. The procurement is categorised as services rather than goods or works. The selected supplier, P&P Cabs, is based in Leicester, indicating a local or regional operator can meet this type of requirement. The service is associated with the council’s assisted transport activity and may suit businesses already operating vehicles and drivers for contracted passenger journeys.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. The award decision was made on 11 August 2026. P&P Cabs received the contract for £18,240, including the stated award value, with an award contract period from 3 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. The tender records the wider contract period as 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 9am on 9 August 2026. The requirement was treated as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. Evaluation was conducted through the open procedure for a services contract. There was one active award and one named supplier: P&P Cabs.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined requirement for SEN taxi transport from Leicestershire County Council, delivered through an open procedure and awarded to an SME. A credible future competitor would need to operate passenger vehicles and drivers suitable for special educational needs journeys, with the practical capacity to provide reliable contracted transport in England and, in particular, the council’s local operating area. Experience of school or assisted passenger transport would help demonstrate understanding of safeguarding, punctuality, passenger support and route reliability, although those requirements are not stated as formal criteria here. Smaller taxi and private hire businesses may be commercially relevant, provided they can organise enough vehicles, drivers and service resilience for a council contract of this scale.
