Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process, titled "Children's Travel Services," is conducted by Birmingham City Council with a focus on transportation services in the West Midlands, UK. The process falls under the industry category dealing with motor vehicles for transport, particularly minibuses. As part of Birmingham City Council's Travel Services Framework Agreement, the procurement is in the award stage, having been awarded to Travel SOS LTD on 1st September 2025. This selective procurement process, which involves calling off from a framework agreement, covers a contract period from 1st September 2025 until 31st July 2029, with a contract value of approximately GBP 300,306.40.

This tender provides significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in transport services, particularly in the provision of minibuses. With its focus on SMEs and coverage of transport services for fewer than ten persons, it's an excellent proposition for businesses adept at delivering tailored travel solutions in compliance with public sector frameworks.
