Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council procured home-to-school transport under its Home to School Transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The requirement covered route SOC 153, a special-purpose road passenger transport service for transporting pupils to and from school. The work is delivered in England for the council’s education transport needs. This is a services procurement, suited to small and medium-sized enterprises. The named buying organisation is Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council, based in Sale, England. The selected supplier, Nexus Move Ltd, is based in Ashton-under-Lyne. The opportunity is therefore relevant to passenger transport operators, school transport providers and specialist operators able to provide reliable route-based transport for pupils under a local authority arrangement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition through the Home to School Transport Dynamic Purchasing System. Bids closed on 19 June 2026 at 12 noon. Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council awarded route SOC 153 to Nexus Move Ltd on 28 July 2026 for £26,163. The contract runs from 29 July 2026 to 31 August 2029. The published procurement method is recorded as “Other”, and the procurement was evaluated through the mini-competition process. The award is active and the tender is complete. The record identifies one awarded supplier and one route, rather than a multi-supplier award. The contract concerns passenger transport services delivered in England.

This award is commercially relevant to small and medium-sized passenger transport businesses with the operational capacity to run scheduled home-to-school routes for a local authority. Nexus Move Ltd’s selection shows that Tameside uses its dedicated Dynamic Purchasing System and route-level mini-competitions to place this type of work. A credible future competitor would need to be able to participate through that purchasing route, respond to a defined school transport requirement and deliver dependable pupil transport across the relevant local area. Experience in specialist passenger transport and the vehicles, drivers and day-to-day control needed to operate a recurring school route would help establish credibility. The requirement also indicates a defined market for individual routes rather than only large bundled transport contracts.
