Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has completed the procurement process for a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services, particularly focusing on a project between Corton and Warren School in Lowestoft. This contract involves the provision of a six-seated, wheelchair-accessible vehicle with a passenger assistant. The procurement falls under the transport services industry category, excluding waste transport, with the contract period set from 2nd June 2025 to 31st July 2030. The procurement was conducted via a tender initiation, with the final award status confirmed on 30th May 2025.

This tender offers promising opportunities for businesses specialising in accessible transportation services, notably those that can provide vehicles equipped for wheelchair users. Though primarily targeting established service providers, given the council's preference against SMEs and VCSEs, it presents a chance for companies like SPRY Management, which secured the award, to expand their operations and service offerings over an extended contract period. The location in Suffolk demands local expertise, making it particularly suitable for businesses with existing operations or experience in the area. The extensive contract duration further allows for long-term planning and investment in service quality improvements.
