## Summary

Birmingham City Council has completed the award stage of a procurement process titled "Children's Travel Services," aimed at providing travel services through small motor vehicles for the transport of fewer than 10 persons. The procurement falls under the services category, with the location specified as the West Midlands, United Kingdom. A call-off from a framework agreement was utilised as the procurement method, specifically a selective process. The contract, valued at £71,573, is scheduled to run from 3rd November 2025 to 31st July 2027, with the award being published on 15th January 2026. The awarded contract was given to Solihull Cars Ltd, a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME), highlighting the council’s support for such businesses.

This tender provides a robust opportunity for growth, particularly for SMEs in the transport services sector, given the focus on smaller vehicles for personalised travel needs. Businesses specialising in motor vehicles for the transportation of fewer than 10 persons, as well as firms capable of delivering comprehensive transport services excluding waste transport, would find this procurement particularly relevant. By successfully competing for such tenders, these businesses can enhance their profiles and secure stable revenue sources through long-term government contracts, thereby promoting further growth and development in their respective industries.
