Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, facilitated by Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, involved awarding a contract titled "QBR072 2026-06-01 Oulton - Magnum Opus Training, Karting Academy, Ellough." This tender, focusing on transport services, falls under the industry category of "Transport services" with CPV classification 60000000 and serves the United Kingdom and other specified locations. The procurement reached the award stage with the process concluding on 1st June 2026. The contract spans from 3rd June 2026 to 31st August 2026, and Suffolk County Council reserves the right to extend it up to 31st October 2026. The tender aimed to fulfil a specific service requirement with seats available only on Wednesdays, under an unspecified procurement method.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the passenger transport sector, specifically those capable of providing specialised services to educational and training institutions. Given the nature of the service, businesses proficient in coordinating localised transport solutions, particularly with flexibility to accommodate specific scheduling needs, such as mid-week service provision, would be well-suited to engage. Although this procurement did not specifically target SMEs or VCSEs, it offers growth prospects for enterprises capable of operating under a dynamic purchasing system, like the supplier Dan's Prebooked Cars, which successfully secured the contract valued at £1,230.82. Businesses with experience in dynamic transport logistics and those keen to expand their service portfolios in the educational sector could view this as an attractive opportunity.
