Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has awarded a contract for the provision of transport services, specifically for routes between Layham, Assington & Sudbury, Suffolk to St Gregory CEVC Primary School, Sudbury, Suffolk. This contract was part of a mini-competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with a contract period from 3rd September 2025 to 31st July 2028. The procurement fell under the industry category of transport services (excluding waste transport) and was valued at £104,538. The buyer organisation is based in Ipswich, Suffolk, and the award was made to Nice Travel Solutions Limited.

The awarded contract presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in the transport services sector, especially those capable of delivering efficient passenger transport solutions. With a contract period extending nearly three years, suppliers providing reliable and cost-effective services can leverage this tender to enhance their reputation and expand their portfolio in the public sector marketplace. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSE) were not marked as suitable; thus, larger firms with the capacity for scalability would find this opportunity particularly beneficial.
