Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process by Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council involves the award of several contracts as part of the Home to School Transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The contracts, specifically for special-purpose road passenger-transport services, were completed through a series of mini competitions. The procurement process had its tender period ending on 26th June 2025 and spans various regions across the United Kingdom, including the North East, North West, and London, among others. The contracts, valued at different amounts per route, commenced on 2nd September 2025 and will conclude by 31st July 2028. The procurement stage is at the award phase, with the latest contract details published on 17th October 2025. This procurement is suitable for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), but not for VCSEs (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises).

This tender presents substantial opportunities for SMEs in the transportation industry to expand their service offerings and enhance their market presence by becoming suppliers for council transport requirements. Businesses engaged in road passenger-transport services, especially those with capabilities to operate across multiple regions within the United Kingdom, stand to gain competitive advantages and long-term contracts spanning nearly three years. The tender process, characterised by dynamic purchasing, allows for flexibility and competitive participation from diverse business entities eager to engage with public sector transport needs. The involvement of multiple regions also suggests potential for businesses to exhibit proficiency in managing extensive transportation logistics for public services.
