## Summary

Birmingham City Council has successfully completed the procurement process for its "Children's Travel Services" contract, under the "Call-off from a framework agreement" method. The contract pertains to minibus services for Queensbury School, falling under the "Transport services" industry category. Valued at £103,078.80, the contract was awarded to HATS Group Limited on 28th November 2025, with the contract period spanning from 3rd December 2025 to 31st July 2027. This selective procurement aimed to assist in the transport of fewer than 10 persons and was specifically targeted towards small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The services will be delivered in the West Midlands, UK, a prime region for such transport-related contracts. The framework agreement used in this procurement highlights Birmingham City Council's commitment to efficient, pre-established supplier relationships for critical service provisions.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for growth, particularly for SMEs specialising in transit services and seeking to expand their reach in the public sector. By leveraging existing framework agreements like the one used here, businesses can secure significant public contracts without undergoing full competitive tendering processes. Such arrangements offer consistent workflow and secure revenue streams over the contract period. Companies experienced in delivering reliable and effective transport services can greatly benefit from contracts of this nature, as they provide a platform for establishing sustainable business relations with government entities such as Birmingham City Council.
