Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has concluded the award stage of a dynamic procurement process for transport services, particularly focused on a project involving a 4-seated vehicle and a personal assistant for a route covering Ipswich to Sendsory, Stowmarket. This process fell under the Passenger Transport Services category and was classified with the CPV code 60000000, excluding waste transport. The process reached its award completion on 24th September 2025, with the contract set to commence on 29th September 2025 and conclude on 31st July 2030. The procurement initiative was carried out through a mini-competition against a pre-existing Dynamic Purchasing System, with key deadlines occurring in September 2025.

This procurement offers substantial business growth opportunities, especially for transport service companies capable of delivering passenger transport solutions within the stipulated regions, including the United Kingdom and other listed areas such as Channel Islands and Europe. Companies like Ground Travel Ipswich Ltd, the awarded supplier, exemplify businesses suited for such tenders, providing a clear example for similar enterprises aiming to capitalise on public procurement demands. The procurement process, though unspecified in the method, particularly supports businesses focusing on long-term service delivery contracts, thus opening avenues for expanding their operational reach across Suffolk and potentially beyond.
