## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured transport services for The Fusion Academy, identified as a taxi requirement for special educational needs (SEN). The work is student transport by taxi, serving the academy in England. The contracting authority is Leicestershire County Council, based in Leicester. The procurement is categorised as a service and concerns transport rather than goods or construction. Its title identifies the academy and taxi requirement, but gives no further detail on routes, passenger numbers, vehicle specification or individual journey arrangements. Suppliers considering comparable work should therefore understand this as a council requirement for taxi transport associated with a specialist education setting, rather than assume it covers general school transport or a wider transport network.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to NMI TAXI LTD. Leicestershire County Council used an open procedure. The award date was 14 October 2026, following a submission deadline of 13 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £34,840. The contract period runs from 29 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The procurement was presented as a single taxi transport requirement for The Fusion Academy, with no separate lot awards reported. The published information does not state specific eligibility conditions or how bids were evaluated, so the outcome identifies the selected supplier and value but does not establish the criteria or capabilities that determined the award.

This award provides evidence that Leicestershire County Council buys taxi transport for The Fusion Academy, linking demand to a specialist education setting rather than a broad transport service. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to deliver dependable taxi provision for the academy’s transport needs and demonstrate the operational capacity to fulfil the required service throughout a defined school-year period. The awarded supplier was NMI TAXI LTD, but the available procurement information does not describe its fleet, driver qualifications, safeguarding arrangements, accessibility provision or other credentials; these should not be treated as confirmed award requirements. The council marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, which indicates the buyer’s stated positioning of this particular procurement, not a general finding about the scale or capabilities needed for future work.
