## Summary

Nottingham City Council has completed a procurement process for the provision of private hire transport services, specifically targeting vehicles accommodating up to eight seats, including those that are specially adapted. This procurement, classified under special-purpose road passenger-transport services, falls under the services category and concluded on 23rd January 2026, with the awarding stage already active. The main procurement method was limited, following an award procedure without prior publication of a competition call, due to it falling outside the directive's scope. The contract, valued at £594,130, was signed on 24th September 2025, and involves transport services for home-to-school children in Nottingham (UKF14).

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses operating in the special-purpose transport services sector, particularly those capable of providing bespoke solutions, such as specially adapted vehicles. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), like Rushcliffe Travel Ltd, the award-winning supplier, could benefit from such tenders, leveraging local knowledge and operational flexibility. Businesses engaged in the specialised passenger transport services, with capabilities in custom vehicle adaptions, are ideally positioned to compete in similar future tenders facilitated by regional authorities like Nottingham City Council.
