## Summary

Birmingham City Council has successfully completed the procurement process for Children's Travel Services through a direct award under its Travel Services Framework Agreement of 2023. The contract, titled "Children's Travel Services," was awarded to HATS Group Limited and involves providing wheelchair-accessible minibuses to Victoria School. Classified under CPV code 34115200 for motor vehicles for transporting fewer than 10 persons, this procurement falls within the services category. The selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, was utilised. The contract period spans from 5th November 2024 to 31st July 2028, with services delivered in the West Midlands, UK. The tender's final value is £291,847.60, and the award was officially published on 2nd September 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises, including those specialising in transport services and vehicle provision, to engage with public sector contracts. Businesses that can provide specialised vehicles, such as wheelchair-accessible minibuses, are well-suited to compete for similar contracts under framework agreements. The tender process, being part of a framework, offers a relatively streamlined path for entering longer-term public service delivery roles, thereby facilitating business growth within the sector.
