Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire County Council has awarded a contract titled "CRNCAA - RNC Hereford to Gloucester" for providing home to school transport services. This falls within the non-scheduled passenger transport category, with additional classifications for special-purpose road passenger-transport services and hire of transport vehicles with drivers. The procurement took place in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The process has reached the award stage, with the contract being awarded on 2nd December 2025. The contract is valued at £31,350, and covers the period from 8th December 2025 to 3rd July 2026.

This contract presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in passenger transport services, specifically those looking to expand their operations in home to school and public road transport sectors. The procurement method was categorised as "other," which may suggest flexibility in the procurement approach. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as those within the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sectors, would be well-suited to compete for such contracts given the emphasis on these business categories. The award was given to MHB Transport, an SME, demonstrating the viability for similar businesses to succeed in future opportunities of this nature.
