Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City Council has completed a procurement process titled "Children's Travel Services" under their 2023 Framework Agreement, with the aim of providing motor vehicles for transporting fewer than 10 persons. This procurement falls within the industry category of transport services, with additional classifications for motor vehicles that transport both fewer and more than 10 persons. Conducted through a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement, the tender serves the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The contract period extends from 27th November 2024 to 31st July 2026, with the award date being 27th November 2024. Awarded to AFJ Limited, the value of the contract is £50,171.40.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises, given that Birmingham City Council has specified its suitability for SMEs. Enterprises specialising in passenger transport services, particularly those that can supply suitable motor vehicles, stand to benefit from such contracts, which can foster business growth within the region. The structured approach involving a framework agreement suggests that businesses with experience in selective procurement processes are likely well-suited to engage with opportunities of this nature.
