Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council has awarded the contract for a passenger transport service under the Dynamic Purchasing System titled "QHL087 09:00 2025-07-01 Coddenham, Suffolk to Broadlands Hall School, Little Wratting, Haverhill, Suffolk." The procurement process, which falls under the services category of transport (excluding waste transport), was conducted using a selective call-off method. The award was published on 2nd July 2025, following a tender period that ended on 1st July 2025. The contract, valued at £206,780.80, commences on 4th July 2025 and will run until 31st July 2029, with a potential extension until 2031. This opportunity takes place in Suffolk, United Kingdom, with key contact details provided for Lindsey Griffiths of Suffolk County Council.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in transportation services, particularly those experienced in dynamic purchasing systems. The opportunity is well-suited for small to medium enterprises, given its defined scope and the duration of the contract. The procurement allows businesses to engage with a local council, potentially establishing strong, long-term partnerships. Despite Suffolk County Council not specifying SME or VCSE suitability, small enterprises dedicated to passenger services, like Arrow Taxi Services Ltd, which was awarded this contract, demonstrate the potential for growth and involvement in public procurement opportunities within this realm.
