This tender was part of a mini competition within the Dynamic Purchasing System aimed at supplying passenger transport services. Contracting began on 25th September 2025, focusing on the transport services industry. Suffolk County Council, located in Ipswich, led this procurement, which concluded with an award made on 26th September 2025 to Royal Rides. The contract extends from 30th September 2025 to 31st July 2030. The CPV classification for this contract is "Transport services (excl.

Royal Rides, the awarded supplier, demonstrates the project's suitability for established transport providers capable of delivering reliable services across both domestic and international locations.
