UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council has recently awarded contracts under the "School To Pool Transport Framework," aimed at transporting schoolchildren to swimming pools to meet National Curriculum standards. The procurement process, led by the Council, includes several lots and predominantly focuses on public road transport services within the Sheffield region (UKE32). The competitive open procedure concluded on 30th June 2026, with a contract period from 1st September 2026 to 31st August 2030. The framework, valued at £2,160,000 gross, ensured multiple awards across different suppliers, reflecting its robust evaluation against a set of criteria focused on quality and pricing.

This procurement framework presents significant opportunities for growth, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in public transport and logistics services. With three suppliers, namely Beewise Travel, T M Travel Limited, and Linburg Touring Limited, securing multiple lots, businesses in similar domains with capacity for flexibility and adherence to service quality standards might find this framework a lucrative engagement. Such contracts can enhance business portfolios, aid in market expansion, and develop long-term service relationships with public authorities like Sheffield City Council.

Notice Information

Notice Title

School To Pool Transport Framework

Notice Description

A Framework for School to Pool Transport is being created by Sheffield City Council (the Authority) being a Contracting Authority as defined by section 2 of the Procurement Act 2023. The Framework will be for the transportation of school children to swimming pools and back, via coach, in order that the schools may comply with the National Curriculum. In the summary section of this notice, it is stated that 37 tenders were received and evaluated, and that 3 suppliers have been awarded contracts and 34 turned down. This is due to the number of Lots and associated Contracts. The actual number of tenders received was 4. One of these did not meet the Conditions of Participation, so the final number of assessed tenders was 3. These three tenders were then evaluated against 13 different Lots on the framework, and as a result the contracts and awarded suppliers listed are split between the 3 tenders, each of which was awarded multiple positions within the framework.
