Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has completed the procurement process for the provision of passenger transport services under the mini-competition QBH194, from Costessey, Norwich to Bungay High School. This procurement falls under the transport services industry (CPV code 60000000), specifically excluding waste transport. The contract, awarded to 24x7 Ltd, covers the period from 9 June 2026 to 17 July 2026. It was conducted as part of a Dynamic Purchasing System, and the tender stage concluded on 5 June 2026. The deadline for clarification questions was set for 4 June 2026, with the procurement process focusing on availability across multiple regions, including the United Kingdom and further afield.

This contract represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in passenger transport services, especially those with the capacity to operate within the specified locations. While this particular tender has been awarded to 24x7 Ltd, similar opportunities within the Suffolk County Council's procurement ecosystem may arise, offering potential growth avenues for similar transport service providers. Enterprises with a robust logistics network and capability to meet regional demands would find themselves well-suited to compete in such tenders to expand their operational footprint and enhance service offerings. Businesses not classified as SMEs or VCSEs and those capable of complying with Suffolk County Council’s procurement requirements should explore future invitations to tender in this sector.
