Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has completed a procurement process for the provision of passenger transport services under the title "QSB435 09:00 2026-01-22 Ipswich, Suffolk to ASSET Flourish @ Ringshall Primary School, Stowmarket, Suffolk." This award marks the transition from the tender stage to the award stage, with the contract set to commence on 26th January 2026 and conclude on 31st July 2027. The services fall under the industry category of transport services, excluding waste transport, and are intended to be delivered across several locations, including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories. Although the procurement method details were not specified, the competition was conducted as a mini competition against a Dynamic Purchasing System. The deadline for both tender submissions and clarification questions was on the morning of 22nd January 2026 and 21st January 2026, respectively.

The awarded contract, valued at £19,520.68, presents opportunities for businesses specialising in passenger transport services. Companies with robust operational capabilities in delivering reliable transport solutions, particularly in regions like Suffolk and its surrounds, are well-suited to benefit from this contract. While this specific procurement has been awarded to Nice Travel Solutions Limited, other businesses looking for similar opportunities should watch for future tenders by Suffolk County Council and consider participating in applicable frameworks such as the Dynamic Purchasing System. Engaging with such contracts not only opens revenue channels but can also enhance a firm's profile and credibility in transport logistics within the public sector.
