The service is classified as special-purpose road passenger transport (CPV 60130000) and covers transport delivery in England. The procurement concerns the operation of a specific school transport route rather than a general passenger transport service. It is a services opportunity for operators able to provide dependable pupil transport for the council. The selected supplier, CallACar, is based in Denton, Lancashire, and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The buying organisation is Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council, whose address is in Sale, England. The requirement was suitable for SMEs and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under the Home to School Transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The tender deadline was 28 July 2026 at 12:00. CallACar was awarded the contract on 24 August 2026 for £29,640. The contract runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The procurement used the council’s dynamic purchasing system route, with the requirement described as an alternative procurement method. The award is active. The published outcome identifies one awarded supplier and one route requirement. The recorded procurement category is services, and the contract value and awarded value are both £29,640, inclusive of the stated currency, GBP. This award demonstrates established demand from Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council for contracted home-to-school transport delivered as an individual route. Businesses well placed for a future requirement would be passenger transport operators able to provide safe, reliable and suitably managed school journeys in England. Relevant capability includes operating special-purpose road passenger transport, planning and delivering scheduled school routes, and maintaining dependable day-to-day service for pupils and the council. The award to an SME shows that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist operator rather than only by a large transport group. Suppliers considering similar council work should be prepared to compete through a dynamic purchasing system mini-competition and demonstrate practical capacity for route-level delivery. ## Notice Tameside Council have carried out a mini competition for their Home to School requirements via the Home To School Transport Dynamic Purchasing System.
