Birmingham City Council has completed the award phase of a procurement process for "Children's Travel Services" under the tender ID NWPRS-350. This procurement falls within the "services" category, specifically targeting the transport industry, and involves motor vehicles suitable for the transport of fewer than 10 persons, with additional classifications for vehicles for more than 10 persons and general transport services. Located in the West Midlands, UK, this selective procurement was conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender process concluded with the contract being awarded on 29 April 2025, with the contract period lasting until 31 July 2027. The contract has a value of £68,020.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for SMEs in the transport and logistics sectors, particularly small vehicle providers, as the procurement methodology favours smaller enterprises.
