## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured specialist taxi transport for Soar Valley College under requirement SEN20340. The service falls within passenger transport services and is intended to support special educational needs travel associated with the college. Delivery is in England, with the council acting as the buying organisation. The requirement is therefore relevant to taxi firms, passenger transport operators and providers experienced in organising regular education-related journeys. The named destination is Soar Valley College, and the successful supplier is based in Leicester. Businesses assessing comparable council requirements should regard this as a local authority-arranged transport service focused on a specific educational setting rather than a general fleet, vehicle supply or wider transport infrastructure contract.

The procurement has been completed through an open procedure. Bids were due by 9 September 2026 at 23:59, and the award was made on 11 September 2026. ABC TAXIS LEICESTER was selected for a contract valued at £11,960. The awarded contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender record gives an estimated contract period ending on 30 July 2027, while the award gives the final period ending on 31 July 2027. The procurement was treated as a services contract and was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. No lots or separate awards are recorded.

This award provides a clear example of Leicestershire County Council buying focused taxi transport for special educational needs journeys linked to one college. A credible future competitor would need to operate as an established taxi or passenger transport business, provide dependable service for a defined education setting and manage delivery throughout an academic-year-style contract. The selected supplier, ABC TAXIS LEICESTER, is recorded as a large organisation, indicating that the requirement was awarded to a provider with substantial operational capacity rather than a small or voluntary-sector organisation. Relevant businesses should be able to demonstrate reliable local coverage, sufficient vehicles and drivers, and the ability to maintain consistent scheduled transport for college passengers.
