## Summary

The public procurement process for "Children's Travel Services" was managed by Birmingham City Council, an organisation known for its structured procurement approach. This process falls under the transport services industry category, specifically focusing on motor vehicles for transporting fewer than ten persons. Located in the West Midlands, United Kingdom, the procurement method was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, indicating a planned and structured selection process. The procurement stage has advanced to the award phase, with the contract awarded to Halo Transfers Ltd, an SME. Key dates include the tender period ending on 17th November 2025 and the contract period spanning from 19th November 2025 to 31st July 2027. The contract holds a total value of £77,710 GBP.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in transport services. Given the focus on providing motor vehicles for transporting school children, businesses with expertise in safe, efficient, and reliable transport solutions are particularly well-suited to compete. Although this specific contract has been awarded, businesses can prepare to engage in similar future tenders by aligning their services with the framework agreements held by entities such as Birmingham City Council. The suitability criteria underscored the potential for SMEs, providing a specific advantage to such businesses eager to expand in the public sector market.
