Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process, led by Birmingham City Council, has concluded with the award of a contract titled "Children's Travel Services." This procurement falls under the services category, specifically targeting the transportation sector with an emphasis on motor vehicles capable of transporting both fewer than and more than 10 persons. The contract concerns the West Midlands region, reflecting Birmingham's location within the United Kingdom. The process followed a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement, marking the contract as in the award stage since 1st July 2025. Key dates include the contract period beginning on 14th May 2025 and concluding on 31st July 2027, with a total contract value of £91,192.40.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the transport and logistics industry, particularly those capable of providing passenger transport services. The contract is likely most appealing to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as the suitability criteria do not prioritise voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies like HALO TRANSFERS LTD, the awarded supplier, can capitalise on such contracts to expand their market presence within the public sector, specifically in transport services tailored for educational institutions.
