Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has completed the procurement process for the supply of passenger transport services, with Dash Travel UK Ltd being awarded the contract. This tender was a mini competition conducted through the Dynamic Purchasing System and falls within the transport services industry category, specifically excluding waste transport. The procurement covers services from Haverhill, Suffolk to Cambridge Regional College in Milton, Cambridgeshire, with the contract period starting on 1st September 2025 and ending on 31st July 2028. The contract is valued at £62,654.40 and the award was published on 21st August 2025.

This opportunity can enhance business growth for companies specialising in regional transport services, especially those with a focus on passenger transport. Although designated for larger businesses, given its unsuitability for SMEs and VCSEs, businesses with existing capabilities to operate within Suffolk and surrounding regions are well-suited to compete in similar tenders. The dynamic purchasing system offers ongoing opportunities for service providers to diversify geographical coverage and service offerings, potentially paving the way for partnerships with public sector organisations.
