## Summary

Birmingham City Council has awarded a contract for "Children's Travel Services" under a framework agreement, focusing on providing MPVs (Small) for Lindsworth School KS2. The procurement process is classified under the industry category of motor vehicles for transport services and involves the transport of fewer than ten persons. This contract was part of a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded contract is valued at £67,811 with a contract period starting from 14th October 2024 and ending on 31st July 2026. This procurement falls within the services category and is located in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The award was made to Solihull Cars Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME), which was announced on 24th September 2025.

This tender provides excellent opportunities for SMEs specialising in transport services, particularly in the school transport sector. Businesses that offer or can provide small MPVs for the transportation of children are well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. The procurement process's emphasis on calling-off from a framework agreement highlights opportunities for businesses already positioned within such frameworks, allowing them to grow their market reach and secure recurring contracts. As the procurement is selective, businesses with proven experience and capability in delivering required services in the West Midlands will have a competitive advantage.
