Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process under review pertains to Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, which has awarded a contract for passenger transport services entitled "QLT007 2025-04-22 (0900) Ipswich to The Ashley School, Lowestoft (4 seated vehicle with a passenger assistant) - AWARD". The contracting authority, Suffolk County Council, is situated in Ipswich, Suffolk. This procurement belongs to the services industry category, specifically focusing on transport services excluding waste transport, as classified under CPV code 60000000. The procurement stage is at the award phase, having been completed with the award dated 22nd April 2025. The procurement method specifics were not provided. The contract period runs from 23rd April 2025 to 27th June 2025, with key deadlines including submissions by 22nd April 2025 and clarifications by 17th April 2025.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses in the transport sector, particularly those capable of offering secure and reliable passenger transportation services. The project requires a four-seated vehicle with a passenger assistant, making it ideal for local transport companies with a focus on small-scale, tailored transport solutions. Given the targeted service from Ipswich to Lowestoft, enterprises based in or near Suffolk would find this geographically advantageous. Although the procurement is not specifically designated for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), established local transport providers, like Fast Cabs Ipswich LTD, who have been awarded the contract, can benefit through engagement and expansion within the public sector. This contract, valued at £5,916.60, offers a defined short-term but potentially ongoing engagement with Suffolk County Council.
