Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has completed an award process for the procurement of passenger transport services between Wissett and Edgar Sewter Primary School in Halesworth. The tender, identified by "BH219", falls under the industry category of transport services and covers a route with an 8-seat capacity. The procurement process has reached the award stage as of 2nd July 2026, following a tender period that concluded on 1st July 2026. The contract extends from 3rd September 2026 until 31st August 2028, with potential extensions until 31st July 2030.

This procurement presents a substantial growth opportunity for businesses in the transport services sector, particularly those experienced in providing school transport solutions. Companies with a presence in East England or the Suffolk region stand to benefit from proximity to the route, although the contract’s extension potential may appeal to providers across broader territories. Suffolk County Council’s established procurement framework emphasises reliability and quality, which may favour established businesses over smaller enterprises or voluntary sector organisations. The awarded value of £65,360 reflects the scale and budgetary considerations of this opportunity.
