Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport is conducting a procurement process for transport services, specifically focused on facilitating travel between South Bury St Edmunds and Innov8 Workshops, Rougham. The tender, categorised under the "Transport services (excl. Waste transport)" industry, has reached the "Award" stage as of 25th November 2025, with the contract period set to begin on 27th November 2025 and conclude on 31st July 2026. Interested suppliers had until 9:00 on 25th November 2025 to submit their proposals, and clarification queries were to be addressed by 15:00 on 24th November 2025. The procurement method details were not specified but involved a mini competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in passenger transport services looking to expand their portfolios within Suffolk and surrounding regions. Although the contract was awarded to Mr Gunter Bartsch T/A Arrow cars, businesses possessing expertise in transport solutions and competitive pricing, despite being slightly less traditional SMEs or VCSEs, could find similar future procurements of interest. Given the geographical spread of delivery, service providers with capabilities to operate in diverse locations such as the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and the United Kingdom would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders. The award value of £763.55 indicates the financial scope of the contract, providing a benchmark for future contract opportunities in this category.
