The requirement is for special-purpose road passenger transport, including the operation of routes identified as SEN 897, 898, 899, 906, 907, 908, 909 and 910. Services are delivered in England for the Council’s school transport provision. This is a services contract rather than a goods or construction opportunity. The procurement was divided into individual transport routes, allowing operators with suitable passenger transport capacity to provide specific journeys or groups of journeys. The requirement is relevant to private hire, taxi, minibus and other specialist passenger transport operators serving Tameside and surrounding areas. The procurement is complete and was awarded through mini competitions under the Home to School Transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The award was made on 26 August 2026 to Enamul Haque, Freerun Private Services, Joes Travel, Nexus Move Ltd, SMF Travel, Stamford Cars UK Ltd and Street Cars Manchester.

The contract runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs. This award demonstrates recurring demand from Tameside Council for contracted home-to-school transport, particularly for special educational needs passenger routes. The successful supplier group consists of small and medium-sized transport businesses, including taxi, private hire and passenger transport operators based around Tameside, Greater Manchester and nearby areas. A credible future operator would need dependable vehicles, drivers and dispatch capacity for scheduled school journeys, together with the ability to manage individual SEN routes reliably and safely. Local knowledge of Tameside and surrounding districts would support practical route planning and consistent service delivery. Businesses able to operate at route level, or coordinate several vehicles and journeys, are the most closely aligned with this requirement. ## 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.
