Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of children's travel services to Castlewood School Lower Site under its 2023 Framework Agreement. This procurement, classified in the industry category of transport services (CPV 60000000), involved a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement targets businesses that can supply motor vehicles, specifically minibuses, designed for the transport of fewer than 10 persons (CPV 34115200) within the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The award was published on 15th January 2026, with the contract period running from 17th November 2025 to 31st July 2027, ensuring a structured continuation of services over this time frame.

This tender presents an opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in transport services to engage in potentially beneficial collaborations with local government entities like Birmingham City Council. With the contract awarded to Green Destinations Ltd, businesses capable of delivering reliable and efficient vehicle services for educational institutions stand to gain significantly in network expansion and reputation by participating in future opportunities within this framework. Given the emphasis on vehicles suitable for transporting fewer than 10 individuals, companies within this niche are particularly well-positioned to compete for similar contracts.
