The requirement is for special-purpose road passenger transport, including the operation of routes SEN 841, 842, 843, 844, 846, 847, 848 and 827. The buying organisation is Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council. The procurement is associated with Tameside and the surrounding Greater Manchester area, with awarded suppliers based in Denton, Hyde and Ashton-under-Lyne. It is a services requirement, rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract. The work involves transporting pupils to and from school under the council’s home-to-school transport arrangements, with several routes awarded to multiple small and medium-sized transport providers. The procurement is complete and has been awarded following mini-competitions run through the Home to School Transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The tender submission deadline was 22 June 2026 at 12:00. The award date was 13 August 2026, and the contract period is 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. One award record names CallACar, Enamul Haque, Md Abedin and Nexus Move Ltd, with an awarded value of £291,840. A second award record names those suppliers plus Stamford Cars UK Ltd, with an updated value of £305,330 after a contract change affecting Stamford Cars. Route values were stated as £33,820 for SEN 841, £41,800 for SEN 842, £18,620 for SEN 843, £44,080 for SEN 844, £20,900 for SEN 846, £34,200 for SEN 847, £45,600 for SEN 848 and £52,820 for SEN 827. This award shows established demand from Tameside Council for outsourced SEN home-to-school transport delivered through a dynamic purchasing system and divided across individual routes. The successful supplier group consists of small and medium-sized local operators, including private-hire and car transport businesses, indicating that substantial national scale is not essential for this type of requirement. Businesses considering future opportunities would need reliable passenger-transport operations, suitable vehicles and drivers, and the capacity to provide consistent school journeys across assigned routes. Local coverage around Tameside, Denton, Hyde and Ashton-under-Lyne would be commercially relevant, as would the ability to manage several routes or collaborate with other small operators. Experience delivering safe, dependable transport for children with special educational needs would strengthen credibility when competing for comparable council requirements. ## Notice Tameside Council have carried out a number of mini competitions for their Home to School requirements via the Home To School Transport Dynamic Purchasing System.
