## Summary

Birmingham City Council has completed a public procurement process titled "Children's Travel Services," focusing on providing wheelchair-accessible minibuses to Victoria School. This project falls under the transport industry category, specifically concerning motor vehicles designed for fewer than 10 persons. The procurement, which is based in the West Midlands, United Kingdom, progressed to the award stage on 5th November 2024, with its details published on 2nd September 2025. As part of a direct award through a framework agreement, the contract is valued at £287,120.40 and will run from 5th November 2024 to 31st July 2028.

This tender provides substantial growth opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) due to its framework-based procurement method, which can favour agile and specialised businesses. The contract, awarded to HATS Group Limited, a known SME, underscores the feasibility for similarly structured companies within the transport services sector to participate in future tenders. The requirement for vehicles suitable for transporting children, particularly those needing accessible options, makes it ideal for businesses with expertise in customised transport solutions and a focus on accessibility.
