Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has reached the award stage for the contract titled "QIP315 1000 2026-05-29 Ipswich - Building SEND castles". This contract involves the supply of passenger transport services, specifically a 4-seated vehicle and a PA, and falls under the transport services category with CPV code 60000000. The procurement activity is located in Ipswich, Suffolk, United Kingdom with the postal code IP1 2BX. The contract period extends from 1st June 2026 to 31st July 2026. Suffolk County Council conducted this procurement through an unspecified method within a mini competition against the Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services, aligning with OJEU Notice 2018/S 031-067685.

This tender provides a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in transport services, particularly those capable of providing specialised passenger transportation. The requirement for a 4-seated vehicle and accompanying PA suggests that companies with a focus on accessibility and tailored transport solutions would find this contract particularly advantageous. Although this specific opportunity was awarded to Nice Travel Solutions Limited for a value of £4,055.36, similar future opportunities may arise within this category, supporting business expansion for transport service providers capable of fulfilling these requirements. Companies with expertise in adapting services for different regions, including those listed as delivery addresses such as the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, are well-positioned to compete effectively in this sector.
