The award was made to ALBIES LTD for a contract value of £113,886. The contract will commence on 1st September 2025 and is set to end on 31st July 2027, with the possibility of extension until 31st July 2028. This procurement falls under the category of transport services, as per the CPV classification, and was conducted through a mini-competition against a Dynamic Purchasing System established under OJEU Notice Id: 2018/S 031-067685.

This tender presents growth opportunities particularly for businesses specialising in passenger transport services that are equipped with accessible vehicles. Companies like ALBIES LTD, which possess the infrastructure for delivering specialised transportation solutions, are likely to find such procurement processes advantageous. While the tender did not specifically indicate suitability for SMEs or VCSEs, organisations with the capability to provide tailored transport services and a robust understanding of passenger needs would be well-suited to compete in similar future procurements. These opportunities allow for the development of collaboration with local councils and the expansion of service offerings in the transport sector.
