The contract is scheduled to commence on 13th October 2025 and will conclude on 31st July 2026. The total value of the award is £34,200. Although specific procurement method details aren't disclosed, this process was a mini competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System initially publicised in the OJEU Notice 2018/S 031-067685.

This tender offers growth potential for businesses in the transport sector, particularly those adept at providing scheduled passenger services. While the procurement is not tailored for SMEs or VCSEs (Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises), organisations with a robust infrastructure and capacity to operate services within Suffolk may find it beneficial. This contract could provide a stable revenue stream for the successful bidder, supporting business expansion through a government-backed project. Companies with existing operations in the United Kingdom, as well as those capable of handling domestic transport logistics, are particularly well-suited to participate and thrive under such opportunities.
