Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Birmingham City Council for "Children's Travel Services" has concluded with the award stage. This tender, classified under the motor vehicles industry for transporting fewer than 10 persons, involved providing a Saloon or Estate Car service to Birchfield Primary School. The procurement was executed through a selective approach, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract commenced on 3rd December 2025 and will run until 31st July 2027, with deliveries required in the West Midlands region. The awarded contract, valued at £30,875, was sealed shortly after the tender period, which ended on 28th November 2025.
