Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City Council has completed a tender process titled "Children's Travel Services" for the procurement of motor vehicles, primarily to be used for transporting fewer than 10 persons, with additional classifications for larger transport and general transport services. This direct award, executed under Birmingham City Council's Travel Services 2023 Framework Agreement, involves a selective procurement method through a call-off from the framework. The services are intended to support Leycroft Academy in the West Midlands, with a contract value of £69,692. The procurement stage is at the 'Award' phase, with the contract running from 14 October 2024 to 31 July 2026. The award was published on 24 September 2025, following its start on 14 October 2024.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in transport services to enhance their portfolio by participating in public sector contracts. While Solihull Cars Ltd has been the supplier awarded this contract, similar opportunities could benefit businesses capable of providing transport solutions that align with the specific requirements of the Council's framework agreement. Enterprises with expertise in motor vehicles or transport services and a focus on catering to educational or institutional clients within the West Midlands would be well-suited to compete in future tenders by Birmingham City Council.
