This contract, identified as "QBE093," covers transport from Saxmundham to West Suffolk College in Bury St Edmunds and falls under the transport services category (CPV code 60000000). The process has reached the 'Award' stage, with the contract period scheduled to commence on 1st October 2025, extending until 31st July 2028. The tendering process concluded on 29th September 2025, and no late submissions were accepted.
