Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has completed an award for a contract to provide transport services, specifically involving a 4-seated vehicle required for routes between Bury St Edmunds and Olive Academy, Stowmarket. The procurement process falls under the category of transport services, excluding waste transport, with the contract scheduled to run from 3rd February 2026 to 31st July 2026. The relevant procurement stage for this process is the award stage, noted on 30th January 2026. All operations will be primarily located in Suffolk, United Kingdom. This procurement aligns with a dynamic purchasing system, as announced in the 2018 OJEU Notice. Despite set deadlines for submissions and clarifications at 9:00 AM on 29th January 2026 and 28th January 2026 respectively, the process has now transitioned to completion with the award being granted.

This awarded contract represents an opportunity for businesses involved in passenger transport to explore working with local councils on dynamic purchasing systems. Specifically, small to medium transport service providers, especially those capable of operating in Suffolk and surrounding regions, would find value in participating in future similar tenders. Although Suffolk County Council opted to grant this contract to Kelly's Cabs (Alan Kelly), the ongoing potential for collaboration with public sector transport requirements remains significant for businesses aiming to expand their portfolios and establish a foothold in public procurement. While this contract's suitability was not marked for SMEs or VCSEs, engaging with such opportunities can open new avenues for contracted service provisions.
