The requirement covers special educational needs (SEN) passenger transport routes, specifically SEN 914 and SEN 915, under the wider category of special-purpose road passenger transport services (CPV 60130000). The services are delivered in England, for pupils travelling to and from school. Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council is the buying organisation. This is a transport operation rather than a vehicle supply or construction requirement, so relevant businesses are passenger transport operators, school transport providers and organisations experienced in managing assisted or specialist journeys. The procurement was arranged as a mini-competition for the council’s Home to School requirements, with the two identified SEN routes forming the awarded work. The procurement is complete and has been awarded following mini-competitions under the Home to School Transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The award date was 3 September 2026, with the contract running from 4 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Two routes were identified: SEN 914, valued at £62,320, and SEN 915, valued at £38,000. The published award value is £100,320. The contract was awarded jointly to Md Abedin and Miraz Transport Ltd. The procurement was conducted as an ‘Other’ method within the Dynamic Purchasing System, and the tender record shows the service category as services. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The process had a submission deadline of 28 August 2026 at 12:00. This award demonstrates sustained demand from Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council for specialist home-to-school passenger transport, including SEN routes delivered by smaller operators. A credible future supplier would need to provide dependable day-to-day school transport, organise journeys around school timetables and maintain sufficient vehicles and drivers for the required routes. Experience transporting children or passengers with special educational needs would be directly relevant, as would the operational ability to manage safeguarding, punctuality, attendance-related changes and communication with the council and schools. The award of work to Md Abedin and Miraz Transport Ltd indicates that an SME-scale operator can compete for this requirement. Businesses with local coverage in Tameside and surrounding parts of Greater Manchester, reliable scheduling and capacity for dedicated routes would be well placed when comparable council requirements return. ## 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.
