The tender is categorised under transport services, excluding waste transport, with CPV code 60000000, and is based in Ipswich, United Kingdom. The procurement reached the award stage as of 1st September 2025. The awarded contract to Royal Rides will commence on 3rd September 2025 and conclude on 31st July 2030, valued at £132,050.

This contract offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in passenger transport services, particularly those with capabilities to manage specific vehicle and personnel requirements. While small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) may not find it directly suitable because the procurement strategy does not specifically favour these, companies like Royal Rides, experienced in agile and tailored service delivery, are well-placed to thrive.
