Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City Council has concluded a procurement process titled "Children's Travel Services," which involved a direct award facilitated through a framework agreement. This procurement focused on providing wheelchair-accessible minibuses to Mayfield School, located in the West Midlands, UK. The industry category for this contract falls under transport services, specifically motor vehicles for the transport of fewer than 10 persons. The procurement stage is in the award phase, having been completed with the contract starting on 28 March 2025 and extending until 31 July 2027. The process used was selective, executed as a call-off from an existing framework agreement, with an awarded contract value of £59,006.40 GBP. The award was made public on 10 July 2025.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly SMEs capable of providing accessible transport solutions. The procurement's focus on wheelchair-accessible minibuses suggests that businesses with expertise in specialised vehicle modifications could find lucrative opportunities within similar transport service tenders. Although the selective procurement method implies a limited pool of competitors, companies similarly engaged in framework agreements may seek to align their service offerings to participate in future opportunities of this nature.
