## Summary

Birmingham City Council has completed a procurement process for the provision of Children's Travel Services under the framework agreement for Travel Services in 2023. The tender was specific to motor vehicles intended for the transport of fewer than 10 persons, with classifications extending to larger transport services. This procurement, valued at £59,200.20, was conducted using a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. All related activities and services fall within the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The procurement process has advanced to the award stage, with the contract set to run from 8th October 2025 to 31st July 2027. The involvement of small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) was facilitated through this opportunity, although it was not specifically aimed at voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).

This procurement creates significant business opportunities, particularly for SMEs in the transport and motor vehicle sectors. Companies that specialise in providing transport services, especially those with capabilities in handling frameworks and selective procurement methods, would have been well-positioned to bid. The completion of this contract with AFJ Limited, an SME, underscores the approachability of Birmingham City Council's procurement strategy for businesses looking to expand in the public sector transport services market. With the focus on smaller vehicle logistics, businesses equipped to meet these specific requirements can leverage such contracts to build a public sector track record and explore further opportunities within the region.
