Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process overseen by Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council focuses on the provision of special-purpose road passenger-transport services under the Home to School Transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The recently completed tender, titled "Lot 4 - Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council," resulted in several mini-competitions for different routes. The procurement was finalised with key dates marking the contract award on 27 May 2025, with the contract period running from 2 June 2025 to 31 July 2028. This falls under the services category with a primary focus on special-purpose road passenger transport across various regions of England, including the North West and South East. The procurement stage is at the award phase, with the procurement method categorized as "Other -," indicating a potentially bespoke approach to the procuring of services.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for SMEs specialising in transport services. Companies such as Freerun Private Services and Stamford Cars UK Ltd, both identified as suppliers, have successfully secured contracts, demonstrating the suitability of this tender for small to medium enterprises. Businesses focusing on niche transportation services, particularly those capable of serving Special Educational Needs (SEN) transport requirements, would find competitive prospects within similar procurement frameworks offered by councils. Engaging in such public contracts can broaden market access and strengthen a firm's portfolio in publicly funded transport services across England.
