Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council has concluded a procurement process for the provision of passenger transport services, focusing specifically on a contract for transporting students from Wingfield to Bramfield House School using a 4-seated vehicle. This tender process, labelled QBH174, was initiated under a Dynamic Purchasing System as per OJEU Notice Id: 2018/S 031-067685. The procurement stage has reached completion, with an award status granted on 5th June 2025. The services fall under the transport industry category (excluding waste transport) with the relevant CPV code being 60000000. The primary location involved is in Suffolk, United Kingdom, and the contract period starts on 16th June 2025, extending until 31st July 2030. Key deadlines included submission returns by 2nd June 2025 and clarifications by 30th May 2025.

This contract presents substantial business opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in passenger transport services within the UK. The award was made to 24x7 Ltd, with a contract value of £121,303.49, and another award was made to CHESTNUT TRIP LIMITED for £110,355.80. Such opportunities are advantageous for established businesses capable of reliably delivering high-quality transport solutions. While not specifically suitable for SMEs or VCSEs due to its scale, similar tenders can nevertheless prompt growth through successful long-term completion, increased industry credibility, and entry into larger government-funded projects. Businesses with a strong presence in the logistics and transport sectors would find this market particularly lucrative.
