Summary of the contracting process

The Birmingham City Council has completed a procurement process for the provision of children's travel services titled "Children's Travel Services". This process involved a direct award as part of the Travel Services (2023) Framework Agreement. The procurement, classified under industry category CPV 34115200, focused on the supply of motor vehicles for transporting fewer than 10 persons, with additional classifications including transport for more than 10 persons and general transport services excluding waste. The services are intended for delivery in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The contract commencement date was 19th May 2025, and it is scheduled to end on 31st July 2027. The procurement method was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, and the total contract value was £70,300 GBP.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), given its suitability designation for SME bidders. Companies in the motor vehicles and transport services industries, especially those capable of servicing contracts requiring vehicles for small group transportation, would be well-positioned to compete. The awarded supplier, Solihull Cars Ltd, exemplifies a successful SME in this space, which suggests a competitive advantage for similar businesses with the ability to meet the specific service requirements under framework agreements. This contract not only provides financial growth but also enhances industry credibility and potential future procurement opportunities.
