Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council has concluded a procurement process, awarding a contract for passenger transport services under the Dynamic Purchasing System with OJEU Notice ID: 2018/S 031-067685. The contract, titled "QSC191 09:00 2025-07-21 Ipswich, Suffolk to The Ryes Collee & Community, Assington, Suffolk - AWARD," is situated in the transport services industry, excluding waste transport. This process was carried out using a selective procurement method as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender stage was completed, with the award active from 21st July 2025. The contract is scheduled to run from 4th September 2025 to 31st July 2029, with a project location based primarily in Suffolk, and further deliveries potentially across various regions including the United Kingdom and Europe.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for growth to businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those familiar with catering to government tenders through dynamic purchasing systems. Although Suffolk County Council's procurement does not primarily target SMEs and VCSEs, entities like Nice Travel Solutions Limited and Universal Cabs Ltd have successfully secured a place as suppliers, demonstrating potential for businesses with similar capabilities in logistics and passenger transport solutions to engage with similar opportunities. This tender is likely ideal for companies who can provide adaptable and reliable transport services across extensive regions while ensuring compliance with governmental frameworks.
