The contract, titled "35278 - ELLESMERE COLLEGE," falls under the services category, specifically for the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, classified under CPV code 60170000. This open procedure procurement covered a range of regions across the United Kingdom, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West. The procurement process progressed from the tender stage ending on 26th July 2024 to the award stage, with the contract effective from 28th August 2024 to 31st July 2028.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in transport services poised to offer competitive bids in open procedure procurements. The contract's wide geographical scope across multiple regions offers potential expansion prospects for large-scale service providers like HANSOM, who was awarded the contract. Smaller enterprises might face challenges as the opportunity does not specifically target SMEs or VCSEs, but for established companies with the requisite capabilities and scale, this contract offers a robust platform to establish long-term partnerships with the public sector and leverage services across key areas in England.
