## Summary

Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council procured special-purpose passenger transport services for its Home to School Transport requirements. The requirement covered school transport routes for pupils with special educational needs (SEN), identified as routes SEN 855, SEN 856, SEN 857 and SEN 858. Delivery is in England, with the purchasing authority based in Sale. The procurement was run through the council’s Home to School Transport Dynamic Purchasing System and involved mini-competitions for individual transport routes. This is a service opportunity for operators able to provide safe, dependable pupil transport, manage route-based journeys and support the specific needs of children travelling to and from school.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council selected CallACar and Stamford Cars UK Ltd on 18 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £141,170, covering the period from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The route values stated were £33,820 for SEN 855, £39,520 for SEN 856, £48,830 for SEN 857 and £19,000 for SEN 858. The tender submission deadline was 9 July 2026 at 12:00. The process used mini-competitions through the Home to School Transport Dynamic Purchasing System, with the requirement categorised as services and suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award was made to two suppliers.

Although this procurement has been awarded, it provides a clear indication of recurring demand from Tameside Council for specialist home-to-school transport. Suppliers that would be credible when a comparable requirement returns would need to operate reliable passenger vehicles, plan and deliver multiple school routes, and meet the practical needs of SEN pupils. The awarded suppliers were both small and medium-sized enterprises, showing that the requirement can be delivered by focused local or regional operators rather than only large transport groups. Businesses with proven school transport experience, dependable drivers and vehicles, strong safeguarding and passenger-care arrangements, and the capacity to manage several route commitments would be well placed to compete through the council’s dynamic purchasing route.
