Summary of the contracting process

The procurement for "Children's Travel Services," led by Birmingham City Council, has been concluded and awarded to Green Destinations. The project involves providing wheelchair accessible minibuses, both medium and large, to Mayfield School, located in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. This contract, valued at £1,056,835, was awarded through a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from Birmingham City Council's 2023 Travel Services Framework Agreement. Key contractual dates include a tender deadline of 16th July 2025 and a contract period from 1st September 2025 until 30th August 2029. The procurement relates to the transport services industry, specifically motor vehicles for transporting fewer than 10 persons, with additional classifications for larger vehicles and general transport services.

This contract offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which were deemed suitable for this tender. The focus on transport services opens doors for businesses specialising in vehicle supply and logistics within the UK, especially those with capabilities in accessible vehicle modifications. Suppliers with experience in framework agreements and capacity to fulfil long-term service commitments would be well-positioned to compete in similar tenders. The awarded supplier, Green Destinations, exemplifies the type of business that can succeed in this sector by leveraging niche offerings within public sector procurement frameworks.
