Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City Council has completed the procurement process for "Children's Travel Services" through a direct award using its Travel Services Framework Agreement of 2023. This contract is aiming to provide MPV (Small) transport services to Anglesey Primary School and falls under the industry category of motor vehicles for transporting fewer than 10 persons, with additional classifications for larger transport vehicles and transport services excluding waste transport. The procurement, a selective call-off from a framework agreement, is set in the West Midlands, United Kingdom, and has been awarded to Solihull Cars Ltd with a contract value of £69,274. The procurement stage is recorded as an award with the contract set to begin on 14th October 2024 and conclude on 31st July 2026.

This tender represents an opportunity for SMEs operating in the transport services sector, particularly those specializing in providing vehicles for school travel and similar contracts. The selective procurement method from a framework agreement indicates that businesses already engaged in such agreements gain competitive advantage for securing contracts like this. Companies capable of delivering reliable, safe, and efficient travel services underpinned by a strong track record in logistics are well-suited for these opportunities. Although this specific contract details a completed award, the pattern of opportunities within Birmingham City Council's framework agreements signals potential future tenders in the region for interested businesses.
