The project is located in the West Midlands, United Kingdom, and was conducted via a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contracting process, initiated as a tender, reached its award stage with a contract period set to begin on 4th November 2024 and end on 31st July 2026. This contract, awarded to AFJ Limited, carries a value of £36,814.40 and contributes to the council's efforts in providing efficient transport services to the Lindsworth School main site.
