Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport involves a contract awarded for transportation services, specifically a route from Red Lodge, Brandon & Lakenheath to Broadlands Hall School in Little Wrattling, Haverhill. Classified under the industry category of "Transport services (excluding Waste transport)," this contract was awarded to Dash Travel UK Ltd. The process reached the 'Award' stage on 13th July 2026, with a contract period set to begin on 3rd September 2026 and end on 31st July 2027. The contract, valued at £24,206, emphasises a dynamic purchasing system compliant competition, although the method details are not specified.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in passenger transport, offering a year of service provision with negotiation prospects for future contracts under dynamic purchasing systems. Small enterprises and third-sector organisations were not prioritised in this particular tender, but similar contracts in the transport sector could be advantageous for such businesses that aim to expand their portfolio in the public sector. Companies with expertise in regional passenger logistics within the UK, especially those familiar with the Suffolk area, are ideally poised to bid successfully in similar future opportunities.
