Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport recently awarded a contract for transport services titled "TN143 2026-07-21 09.00 Great Livermere to Thurston Community School" under a mini competition from the Dynamic Purchasing System, outlined in OJEU Notice 2018/S 031-067685. The procurement process was completed with the award status as active and an amount of GBP 60,800 granted to Turners of Gt Barton Ltd. The service, classified under CPV 60000000 for transport services excluding waste transport, entails a contract period starting on 3rd September 2026 and concluding on 31st August 2029. Key deadlines included a submission deadline on 21st July 2026 at 09:00. The buying organisation, located in Ipswich, Suffolk, offers this opportunity primarily across the United Kingdom and associated territories, potentially extending the contract up until 31st July 2030.

This tender provides substantial business growth opportunities, especially for enterprises specialising in transport services. Given the contract's extension potential and span across varied geographic locations, businesses that can provide scalable and reliable transport solutions will be well-suited to engage. Although it is classified as not specifically suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, larger transport firms with the capability to sustain longer contractual commitments might find this particularly beneficial. The procurement process is competitive, and leveraging the established relationship with Suffolk County Council could be advantageous for similar future opportunities.
