Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process centred around the Home to School Transport Dynamic Purchasing System, facilitated by the Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council located in Sale, England. This specific tender, labelled as Lot 4, focused on special-purpose road passenger-transport services under CPV code 60130000. It falls within the services industry category and culminated in its award stage on 13th May 2025. The contracting process, initiated earlier this year, is complete, and spans from the start of the contract on 2nd September 2025 until its conclusion on 31st July 2028. The procurement was conducted via a series of mini competitions, emphasising opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The total awarded value amounting to £1,533,300 demonstrates a significant investment in the region's educational transport infrastructure.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for SMEs specialised in transport services. The multiple awards to suppliers like Viva Minibus Ltd and Freerun Private Services showcase the potential for smaller businesses to partake in public procurement processes, broadening their service portfolios within the educational transport sector. Companies with capabilities in managing and operating passenger transport services, especially those targeting special educational needs (SEN), are well-suited to compete in such dynamic purchasing systems. By engaging in these contracts, businesses not only secure financial growth but also build robust partnerships with local councils and enhance their reputations within the community.
