## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured passenger transport by taxi for travel to SENSE College in Loughborough. The requirement is described as SEN taxi transport, indicating journeys associated with special educational needs. The service is delivered in England, with the named destination in Loughborough. The council is the buying organisation, and the procurement is for transport services rather than vehicles or transport infrastructure. This is a specific college transport requirement, so its relevance is strongest for operators able to provide suitable taxi journeys to and from the college for the passengers covered by the service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. ASA Transport Services Ltd was selected, with an award value of £38,272. The award date was 9 October 2026. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The published tender estimate was also £38,272. The requirement was treated as a single procurement, with no separate lot awards. The stated evaluation basis and detailed eligibility requirements are not set out in the available process information. The original tender submission deadline was 8 October 2026. The outcome records an active award to the selected supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from Leicestershire County Council for dedicated taxi transport connected with SENSE College in Loughborough. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to operate taxi services and be able to deliver dependable journeys for passengers with special educational needs. The requirement is specific to a named college, so relevant experience coordinating regular education-related journeys and serving the route would strengthen a supplier’s position. The selected supplier is recorded as a large business, while the tender was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises; smaller operators may therefore need to consider whether their capacity and delivery model can meet comparable council requirements. The award provides a concrete example of the scale and type of transport service this buyer has purchased.
