## Summary

Milton Keynes Council procured services to configure and implement a home-to-school transport system. The requirement covers access to the YPO Services Framework Agreement for Commissioning Solutions, onboarding and implementing the dynamic purchasing system solution, governance and contract management arrangements, engagement with relevant internal stakeholders, and transition from existing procurement arrangements where applicable. This is a technology and software configuration service, falling under system and support services (CPV 72250000) and software configuration services (CPV 72265000). The work supports the council’s home-to-school transport commissioning and management activities. The named supplier, Access UK Limited, is based in Loughborough, while the buying organisation is Milton Keynes Council.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Access UK Limited was awarded the contract on 10 September 2026 for £293,125. The contract period runs from 29 November 2026 to 28 November 2031. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off route rather than an open tender. It is a services contract covering system configuration, implementation, onboarding, governance, stakeholder engagement and transition activity. The opportunity was not divided into lots. The procurement was recorded as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The completed award gives a clear indication of the council’s chosen route and the scale and duration of its requirement.

This procurement is relevant to established technology suppliers able to configure and implement commissioning or transport-management systems for a public-sector customer. Credible competitors would need capability in software configuration, system implementation, onboarding and transition from existing procurement arrangements, together with the capacity to support governance and contract management. Experience of engaging council stakeholders and moving operational arrangements into a new digital purchasing solution would be important. The requirement was channelled through a framework call-off and was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that future suppliers are likely to need substantial organisational capacity, relevant public-sector delivery experience and access to the appropriate framework route.
