The procurement was initiated through a tender against the Dynamic Purchasing System announced in OJEU Notice Id: 2018/S 031-067685, with the contract period set to start on 3rd September 2025 and end on 31st July 2027.

This tender provides valuable growth opportunities for businesses specialised in transport services across the specified regions. Hunterexpress Ltd has been awarded the contract valued at £30,020, indicating a promising partnership for companies experienced in passenger transport services. While the procurement process does not cater to SMEs or VCSEs specifically, larger transport service providers that can accommodate wide-ranging geographical delivery needs would be well-suited to compete in similar future opportunities. The involvement of Suffolk County Council as the buying organisation suggests recurring opportunities for businesses to engage with public transport initiatives in the region.
