Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City Council has completed a procurement process for "Children's Travel Services," specifically involving a Wheelchair Accessible Minibus for Priestley Smith School. This contract falls under the industry category of motor vehicles for the transport of fewer than 10 persons and was undertaken through a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement process, tagged as "award," concluded on 2nd September 2025, with the contract period set to commence on 7th November 2024 and conclude on 31st July 2028. The services will be delivered in the West Midlands, UK, with a value of approximately £229,801.20. The procurement is tailored towards small and medium enterprises (SMEs), enhancing their opportunity for engagement.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs in the transport or vehicle supply sectors. The procurement method, being a call-off from an established framework, allows businesses that are part of this framework agreement to compete more effectively. The emphasis on accessibility in children’s transport services indicates that businesses with expertise in producing or supplying wheelchair-accessible vehicles will find this opportunity particularly within their scope. Such specialised services align well with Birmingham City Council's specific transport needs, thus presenting a niche market for targeted business expansion.
