Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has completed a public procurement process seeking transport services, specifically passenger transport between Mildenhall, Lakenheath and IES Breckland, Brandon. Classified under CPV code 60000000, the industry category for this tender focuses on transport services excluding waste transport. The award stage was achieved, with 24x7 Ltd named as the supplier. The contract was initially set out as a mini competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System. Commencing on 7 July 2025, the contract will run until 31 August 2027, with a reserved right to extend until 31 July 2028. The procurement process garnered interest until the submission deadline on 24 June 2025 at 9:00 am, with questions closing on 19 June 2025 at the same time.

This tender offers expansion opportunities for businesses involved in passenger transport services within Suffolk and surrounding regions. Given its substantial contract value of £69,908.51 GBP, companies equipped to deliver reliable transport solutions could see notable growth. However, it is unsuitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to explore contracts of this nature. The procurement method underscores the importance of dynamic participation and competitive capability within the transport service sector, thus demanding robust logistic planning and operational excellence from potential suppliers. Business growth can be catalysed through effective partnership with Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport.
