Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council procured home-to-school transport services through a route-based requirement. The awarded work covers special-purpose road passenger transport for school journeys, identified as route SOC 152, with delivery in England. The council used its Home to School Transport Dynamic Purchasing System to run mini-competitions for these requirements. This is a passenger transport opportunity for operators able to provide planned school travel services for the council’s transport users. The named buyer is Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council, based in Sale, England. The requirement is categorised as a service rather than goods or works, and is focused on operating a defined home-to-school transport route rather than supplying general transport services.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council selected Joes Travel for route SOC 152. The award was made on 20 July 2026 for £79,560. The awarded contract period runs from 21 July 2026 to 31 July 2029. The tender’s submission deadline was 26 May 2026 at 12:00. The route was competed through a mini-competition under the Home to School Transport Dynamic Purchasing System, using the council’s stated alternative procurement method. The published procurement value is £79,560. The process was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is recorded as active, with Joes Travel identified as the successful supplier.

For transport operators, this award shows established demand from Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council for dedicated home-to-school passenger services procured through its Dynamic Purchasing System. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to operate reliable road passenger transport for a defined school route and meet the practical demands of regular pupil journeys. The opportunity is suitable for an SME, as demonstrated by the successful supplier’s classification. Businesses with experience of structured school transport operations, route planning and dependable day-to-day service delivery would be well placed to assess similar council requirements. The relevant route is a focused service package rather than a large multi-service contract, making this type of work particularly relevant to local or specialist passenger transport operators.
