Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City Council has completed a procurement process for the provision of 'Children's Travel Services', specifically a Wheelchair Accessible Minibus (Large) to Wilson Stuart School in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. This contract, valued at £333,032, was awarded through a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement, with the award stage finalised on 28th April 2025. The contract is active and spans from 28th April 2025 to 31st July 2029. The procurement falls under the industry category of transport services, excluding waste transport, with a CPV classification for motor vehicles catering to fewer than 10 persons or more.

Businesses capable of providing specialised transport solutions that meet the needs of the educational and public sectors would be well-suited to compete in such tender processes. With Birmingham City Council as the buying authority, companies with a strong service delivery record or those looking to establish a presence in the public sector transportation industry, especially in the West Midlands, would benefit from participating in similar procurements, potentially accessing a stable and substantial revenue stream across the contract's duration.
