Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has recently completed the procurement process for the contract titled "QBR076 2026-07-17 St Cross South Elmham - Beccles High School (The Forge Unit), Beccles," under the industry category of Transport Services. This contract involves the provision of passenger transport services and was processed through a mini competition against the Dynamic Purchasing System. The procurement concluded at the award stage, with the award notice published on 17th July 2026. The service will commence on 3rd September 2026 and extend until 31st July 2031. The delivery addresses cover several regions, including the United Kingdom and beyond, with an emphasis on East England, specifically Suffolk.

This procurement creates significant business growth opportunities, especially for businesses in the transport sector that specialise in passenger services. Companies that can supply efficient and reliable transport services may find this particularly advantageous, given the contract’s international delivery scope and long-term nature. Additionally, the amount awarded, totalling GBP 79,420, indicates a substantial business opportunity for service operators like Goldline Ltd, the successful supplier. Although this particular contract is not suitable for SMEs or Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs), large-scale operators with a robust infrastructure to handle extensive and diverse transportation needs are well-suited to compete in similar future tenders.
