Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has recently completed a procurement process titled "QLT342 2026-07-27 (0900) Lowestoft - Roman Hill Primary School, Lowestoft (4 seats) - AWARD" within the transport services industry category. The award was published on 27th July 2026, with a start date set for the contract period on 7th September 2026 and concluding on 31st August 2027. The contract, valued at £12,103, covers passenger transport services, specifically catering to a location in Lowestoft and surrounding areas within the United Kingdom and potentially extending to Europe and other regions. This procurement was part of a dynamic purchasing system, though procurement method specifics are not detailed. Key deadlines included a submission deadline of 27th July 2026 and a clarification deadline on 23rd July 2026.

This tender offers growth opportunities particularly for businesses specialising in transport services, including small to medium enterprises that are looking to expand their market presence in the region. While the tender is targeted by the Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, indicating a focused regional requirement, it also allows supplier businesses to engage in public sector contracts, which are vital for establishing long-term, stable income streams. Companies such as Goldline Ltd, which has been actively engaged in the process, exemplify the type of organisation well-suited for such opportunities, particularly those with operational capabilities in school transport services and the ability to meet local demand efficiently.
