Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has awarded a contract for providing transport services to Hawk Express Cabs Ltd. The procurement process was part of a mini-competition within a Dynamic Purchasing System under the OJEU Notice Id: 2018/S 031-067685. The project, titled "Sutton - Hollesley Primary School (4 Seats)", falls under the transport services category (excluding waste transport) and is classified with CPV code 60000000. The contract covers services within the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and United Kingdom, with award details published on 3rd July 2026. The service will commence on 3rd September 2026 and conclude on 31st July 2027.

This tender presents a significant business opportunity for companies specialising in passenger transport services, particularly those equipped with the capacity to handle regional transit requirements. While the project itself does not specify suitability for SMEs or VCSEs, larger transport firms with established operational frameworks stand to gain from participating in similar procurement processes through established Dynamic Purchasing Systems. The awarded contract valued at £15,200 reflects a considerable opportunity for businesses looking to cement their presence within the Suffolk transportation sector, and potentially positions suppliers for further opportunities in upcoming public tenders or similar procurement exercises.
