Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the project titled "QIP989 0900 2025-09-15 Rendlesham - Westbridge academy, Ipswich (4-seated vehicle required) - AWARD" has been concluded by Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport. This project falls under the transport services industry category, with a specific focus on non-waste transport services. The procurement stage is completed as of 15th September 2025, with the contract awarded to Hawk Express Cabs Ltd. This service encompasses areas including Ipswich in Suffolk and extends to various regions such as the British Oversea Territories and the United Kingdom. The contract period is set from 17th September 2025 until 31st July 2030. The deadline for submission of proposals was 15th September 2025, preceded by a deadline for clarification questions on 12th September 2025.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in passenger transport services, particularly those with capabilities for operating small fleet vehicles. As the contract spans five years, it offers stable growth potential and market presence in Suffolk and potentially broader regions. Companies with established logistics management practices and flexibility in fleet operation would be well-suited to compete for future opportunities of this nature, as seen from the successful bid by Hawk Express Cabs Ltd. Although this award was not explicitly tailored for SMEs or VCSEs, large transport providers might see teaming up with smaller specialty firms as a strategic approach for competitive edge in future procurement processes.
