What is being bought

Published requirement description

Birmingham City Council (the Council) did a further competition exercise using the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) / Government Commercial Agency (GCA) Transport Technology Framework Agreement reference RM6347, under LOT 3, inviting tenders from all suppliers included within the aforementioned agreement under LOT3.

The Council will enter into a contract under the terms of the original framework agreement for the requirement(s) with the preferred supplier.

This contract is anticipated to commence on 1st February 2027 for an initial period of 4 years with a possible three (3) year extension option (unless terminated earlier under the contract provisions). The contract will be awarded to one supplier.

Please note the pricing schedule is based on indicative volumes. We anticipate the spend under this contract will be in the range of roughly £45,000,000 to £55,000,000 (excluding VAT) over the full potential seven-year term of the contract. However, the £66,000,000 (including VAT) figure allows for contract indexation, demand-led deployment requirements, permitted variations within scope, mobilisation and implementation requirements, and other approved service needs that may arise over the full potential seven-year contract term.
