Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has completed a procurement process for the provision of passenger transport services, specifically requiring a 4-seater vehicle for routes from Glemsford to ONE, Scrivener Dr, Pinewood, Ipswich. The tender falls under the industry category of transport services (excluding waste transport) with the CPV code 60000000.

The contract was awarded to Universal Cabs Ltd and has a contract period set to commence on 3rd September 2025, concluding on 31st July 2027.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for transport service providers, especially those capable of offering passenger service solutions on a dynamic purchasing system framework. Businesses specializing in providing such tailored, passenger-themed transport solutions stand to benefit from engaging with public procurement processes like this, which might bolster their growth within regional and potentially international markets, considering delivery scopes extend to areas like the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, and beyond. Large-scale operators are poised to compete effectively given the procurement's exclusion of SMEs and VCSEs.
