Summary of the contracting process

The industry category falls under motor vehicles for the transport of fewer than ten persons, with additional services for more than ten people and general transport services excluding waste. The location of delivery is specified as the West Midlands, UK. This process has reached the award stage, having culminated on 1st July 2025 following a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. Key timelines include the contract period starting from 28th April 2025 and ending on 31st July 2027, with the contract valued at £93,537.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in transport services, to engage with public sector contracts and expand their portfolio. With a focus on SME suitability, organisations like 247 Cars Willenhall Ltd, which successfully secured this contract, exemplify the type of businesses well-suited to compete, especially those located within or with the capacity to operate in the West Midlands. The procurement assists in nurturing business growth by enabling participation in selective, pre-established frameworks, which can lead to further opportunities within the public sector.
