Summary of the contracting process

The Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport recently completed a public procurement process for passenger transport services under the Dynamic Purchasing System. The project, titled "QBE392 Bramford to Innov8 Workshops, Rougham", falls under the transport services category and involves service provision from Bramford to Rougham in Suffolk. The procurement stage was at the award phase, culminating on 5th May 2026 with a contract value of £4,527.32 awarded to Universal Cabs Ltd. Key dates included a clarification question deadline on 1st May 2026, and submissions needed to be returned by 09:00 on 5th May 2026. The contract services will commence on 8th May 2026, continuing through to 31st July 2026.

This procurement offers notable opportunities for transport service providers, particularly those experienced in passenger transport, seeking to expand their footprint in the United Kingdom, including the surrounding regions such as the Channel Islands and Isle of Man. While the opportunity is not specifically targeted at SMEs or VCSEs, businesses with a strong service delivery model in passenger transport are well-suited to compete for such contracts. Participation in dynamic purchasing systems like this can lead to increased visibility and access to future tenders posted by the Suffolk County Council and other public organisations.
