Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, titled "QFX003 0900 2026-06-10 Kesgrave to Projection Education, Felixstowe (4 seater) - AWARD," falls under the Transport services industry category. This process has progressed to the Award stage as of 10th June 2026. The procurement involves arranging passenger transport services, and the contract has been awarded to Nice Travel Solutions Limited for a value of £1,434.58. The service provision is scheduled to start on 15th June 2026 and conclude by 31st July 2026. Interested parties should note that all procurement-related questions and submissions had specific deadlines, with clarifications due by 9th June 2026 and submissions by 10th June 2026, with the service being performed in locations within the United Kingdom and potentially the wider Europe and beyond.

This awarded contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the passenger transport sector to engage with UK local government transport services. Companies specialising in small group passenger transport, such as those with capabilities for a four-seater vehicle service, are particularly well-suited to this type of procurement. Such tenders offer a stable revenue stream and potential for building long-term relationships with local government bodies like Suffolk County Council. Although the competition for this opportunity has concluded, similar tenders under the Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services may come available in the future, providing further opportunities for companies in this field to expand their business footprint within the public procurement domain.
