Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City Council has completed a procurement process titled "Children's Travel Services," which involves the provision of motor vehicles for transporting fewer than 10 persons, as well as broader transport services. This process was conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement, specifically targeting the delivery region of the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement method employed was selective, and it culminated in the award stage on 21st October 2024, with the contract running until 31st July 2026. With the tender period originally set to close on 16th October 2024, this process is classified under the services category and is valued at £64,885.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the motor vehicle and transport services industries, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) such as Solihull Cars Ltd, which has been awarded this contract. The contract opens up potential for business growth by allowing access to a steady revenue stream over the chosen period. Firms with expertise in providing high-quality transportation for children and familiarity with framework agreements would be particularly well-positioned to compete in such procurement opportunities.
