Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has completed the award stage for a procurement process titled "QNT070 09:00 2026-07-15 Woolpit & Thurston to The Hive ' Exning Primary, Exning, Newmarket." This falls under the transport services industry category (excluding waste transport). The procurement seeks passenger transport services under a Dynamic Purchasing System with a contract period from 3rd September 2026 to 31st July 2029. Located in Suffolk, the procurement involved key dates, including the deadline for submissions at 09:00 on 15th July 2026. The council retains the right to extend the contract until 31st July 2031. The procurement value awarded to 24x7 Ltd is £125,115 GBP. Lindsey Griffiths of Suffolk County Council is the designated contact person.

This tender presents lucrative opportunities for businesses involved in transport services, particularly those with experience serving educational institutions and operating within the UK. Given the potential for a contract extension up to 2031, firms specialising in passenger transport see long-term collaboration potential. The opportunity notably favours established businesses due to the complexity inherent in meeting dynamic purchasing requirements and providing consistent service quality over an extended period. While SMEs and VCSEs were not specifically targeted, any business with a robust infrastructural capability to manage regional transport demands would find this contract advantageous for growth.
