The requirement covers dedicated passenger transport routes for pupils travelling to and from school, delivered for the council in Tameside and the surrounding area of England. The published scope identifies special-purpose road passenger-transport services, including routes SOC 141, SOC 142, SOC 144 and SOC 145. This is a transport services opportunity rather than a vehicle supply or infrastructure contract. It is relevant to operators providing scheduled or route-based school transport, including businesses able to organise suitable vehicles, drivers and daily service delivery for individual school travel requirements. The procurement is identified as Lot 4 for Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council. The procurement is complete and has been awarded following mini competitions under the dynamic purchasing system. The award date was 17 August 2026. Three suppliers were selected: Enamul Haque, Freerun Private Services and Stamford Cars UK Ltd. The awarded value is £110,252. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The route-level values stated for the mini competitions are £39,600 for SOC 141, £30,600 for SOC 142, £28,500 for SOC 144 and £11,552 for SOC 145. The tender submission deadline was 20 April 2026 at 12:00. Small and medium-sized enterprises were identified as suitable suppliers. Evaluation was conducted through mini competitions within the dynamic purchasing system. This award demonstrates recurring demand from Tameside Council for outsourced home-to-school passenger transport delivered through a dynamic purchasing system. It is commercially relevant to small and medium-sized operators able to compete for individual route requirements rather than only large bundled contracts. A credible future supplier would need dependable operational capacity for repeated school journeys, suitable vehicles and drivers, route planning and the ability to maintain consistent service across the contract area. Businesses should also be able to respond to mini competitions under the council’s purchasing system and price separate routes competitively. The three successful suppliers show that the requirement can be met by smaller transport businesses, including local operators serving Tameside, Hyde, Oldham and Ashton-under-Lyne. ## Notice Tameside Council have carried out a number of mini competitions for their Home to School requirements via the Home To School Transport Dynamic Purchasing System.
