## Summary

Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council procured special-purpose passenger transport services for Home to School Transport through its Dynamic Purchasing System. The requirement covers seven special educational needs (SEN) routes, identified as SEN 825, SEN 826, SEN 828, SEN 829, SEN 830, SEN 831 and SEN 832. Services are delivered in England, for Tameside Council’s school transport provision. The awarded suppliers are Enamul Haque, Freerun Private Services, Joes Travel, Nexus Move Ltd and SMF Travel. This is a service contract rather than a goods or construction opportunity, and is relevant to operators providing regular, reliable passenger transport for children with special educational needs.

The procurement is complete: Tameside Council ran mini-competitions under its Home to School Transport Dynamic Purchasing System and awarded the requirement on 12 August 2026. Five suppliers were selected jointly for a total awarded value of £339,720. The seven route values are £41,420 for SEN 825, £44,080 for SEN 826, £53,960 for SEN 828, £52,060 for SEN 829, £49,020 for SEN 830, £47,120 for SEN 831 and £52,060 for SEN 832. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from Tameside Council for dedicated SEN home-to-school transport delivered through a Dynamic Purchasing System and mini-competition route. Suitable competitors would need to provide dependable passenger transport, manage recurring school journeys and accommodate the practical requirements of transporting children with special educational needs. The awarded supplier group shows that the work can be delivered by small businesses, including local and regional operators, rather than only by a large national transport company. Credible future participants would therefore benefit from suitable vehicles, appropriately trained drivers, robust safeguarding and scheduling processes, and the operational capacity to run one or more individual routes consistently.
