Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council has completed a tender process for providing passenger transport services to Hadleigh-Wetheringsett Manor School, located in Wetheringsett-Cum-Bockford. The procurement, under the industry category of transport services excluding waste transport, involved a selective procurement method via a dynamic purchasing system. The contract was awarded on 21st August 2025 and is scheduled to start on 3rd September 2025, concluding on 31st July 2026. The opportunity required a 4-seated vehicle with a female driver. The buyer, Suffolk County Council, operates from Russell Road, Ipswich, and can be contacted through Marina Akhmetzyanova.

This contract presents an excellent opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises specialising in transport services to expand their portfolio and secure governmental partnerships. Businesses offering passenger transport, particularly those who can provide specialised services such as gender-specific drivers, would find this tender particularly relevant. The contract, valued at £4,560, was awarded to Hawk Express Cabs Ltd, highlighting the council's inclination towards working with SMEs that meet their service criteria. Engaging in such contracts can lead to further opportunities with the council and similar public entities, especially for businesses in or around Suffolk.
