## Summary

The Staffordshire County Council recently completed a tender titled "Mini Competition for Home to School Transport" under the services category, primarily concerning taxi and special-purpose road passenger transport.

The contract commenced on 5 September 2017 and will extend until 23 July 2021, targeting the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom.
