Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has completed the award stage of a public procurement process for the provision of passenger transport services under the title "QLT329 2026-01-20 (0900) Lowestoft - Sunrise Academy, Lowestoft (4 seated vehicle) - AWARD". This contract is classified under the industry category of Transport Services (excluding Waste transport) and is scheduled to commence on 22nd January 2026, ending on 31st July 2029. The procurement involved a mini competition from a Dynamic Purchasing System, with critical deadlines for submission and clarifications on 20th and 19th January 2026, respectively. The project location is Lowestoft, Suffolk, with Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport as the buying organisation, and the contract has been awarded to SPRY Management.

This procurement presents a substantial opportunity for businesses operating in the transport services sector, especially those capable of supplying passenger transport solutions within Suffolk. While the tender did not specify procurement methods, leveraging a dynamic purchasing system indicates an opportunity for businesses that can offer competitive and flexible transport services. Companies like SPRY Management, who have experience in such tenders, stand to benefit, but other businesses looking to expand within the UK and into international locations could also find growth through similar contracts. This scenario particularly suits enterprises skilled in logistical coordination and vehicle provision, thereby enabling broader market reach and increased contract awards.
