Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport recently completed an award stage of a procurement process for the contract titled "QML059 Bury St Edmunds to West Row Academy, West Row". This procurement falls under the transport services industry category and primarily focuses on passenger transport services. The contract period starts on 3rd September 2025 and ends on 31st July 2030. This opportunity was announced as part of a mini competition within a Dynamic Purchasing System, specifically targeting services excluding waste transport. The deadline for submissions was 9:00 AM on 11th August 2025, and the whole process has been finalised, with the award status listed as active.

This procurement presents substantial business growth opportunities, especially for companies specialising in transport services. It is particularly suited for organisations capable of offering consistent and reliable transport solutions over an extended period, given the five-year contract duration. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may not find this opportunity fitting, as indicated by the suitability criteria. Businesses with expertise in dynamic purchasing systems could benefit from similar procurements by leveraging strategic planning and resource allocation to meet transport service demands. The awarded contract, worth £218,500, was given to All Day Cars, a supplier experienced in providing such services, indicating the competitive nature of the bidding process.
