## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured taxi transport for a special educational needs journey associated with Dorothy Goodman Lower Site and Dorothy Goodman Upper, Barwell Lane. The requirement is transport services for a named route between the two school sites; the data does not describe further route, passenger or vehicle requirements. The buyer is Leicestershire County Council, based in Leicester. The delivery location is recorded as England, with no more precise place specified for where the transport takes place.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to MASTERCABS. The award was made on 6 October 2026, following an open procedure. The contract is valued at £34,710 and runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender deadline was 4 October 2026. The procurement was for one taxi transport requirement, with no lots recorded. Evaluation criteria and supplier eligibility requirements are not set out in the available procurement data. The tender was marked unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The award shows that Leicestershire County Council buys taxi transport for a specific special educational needs journey connected with Dorothy Goodman Lower Site and Dorothy Goodman Upper, Barwell Lane. A credible competitor for this requirement when it next returns to market would need to demonstrate the practical ability to provide reliable taxi transport for the named school journey and to meet the needs of the passengers concerned. The awarded supplier was classified as a large business, and the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; this signals a requirement that may favour providers with sufficient operational capacity. The data does not identify particular vehicle, driver, safeguarding or accessibility specifications, so no additional capability or accreditation requirement can be inferred.
