Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has completed the awarding stage of a procurement process for passenger transport services with the contract titled "QBH183 - Ipswich to Bramfield House School, Bramfield (4 seated vehicle required)." This falls under the industry category of transport services, excluding waste transport, with a CPV code of 60000000. The contract involved a mini competition within the Dynamic Purchasing System and was awarded to 405 CAB CO LTD. The contract period begins on 3rd September 2025 and ends on 31st July 2028, with potential extension up until 31st July 2030. Key deadlines included the submission of tenders by 9:00 AM on 14th August 2025 and clarification questions by 9:00 AM on 13th August 2025. The location primarily involves Ipswich, Suffolk, and extends to a variety of areas including British Overseas Territories and the United Kingdom.

This award presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the passenger transport sector aiming to expand their operations within the Suffolk region and potentially beyond. Firms with capability to provide specialised transport services, such as those requiring smaller, four-seated vehicles, would find themselves well-positioned to compete in similar tenders. Although the procurement method is not specified, such tenders typically favour suppliers who can demonstrate reliability and flexibility in service delivery. Engaging in these types of contracts not only provides an avenue for stable revenue during the contract period but also opens up prospects for establishing partnerships with local authorities, leading to long-term business growth.
