Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, concerns the award of a contract for transport services classified under CPV code 60000000. Specifically, the service involves the provision of an eight-seat vehicle with a passenger assistant to operate between Oulton Broad and Beccles High School (The Forge Unit). The contract, worth £212,800, was awarded to PJ Wayland's Ltd on 17th July 2026. The procurement stage at the time of this report is the 'Award' stage. The contract is set to commence on 3rd September 2026 and is expected to run until 31st August 2031. Clarification questions had a deadline of 16th July 2026, with submission closure on 17th July 2026. The contract is extendable up to 31st July 2033.

This contract presents valuable business opportunities, especially for companies proficient in providing passenger transport services. The opportunity is best suited for businesses capable of handling dynamic service requests within the transport sector, with a focus on educational routes. Despite being part of a mini competition within a Dynamic Purchasing System, the project does not prioritise small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Businesses like PJ Wayland's Ltd that possess experience in specialised passenger logistics across the United Kingdom may find substantial prospects for growth through such contracts.
