Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has concluded its procurement process for a passenger transport service. The contract, titled "QSB212 1300 2026-07-17 Claydon - Helmingham primary school, Helmingham (4-seated vehicle required) - AWARD," falls under the industry category of Transport Services, as per CPV code 60000000. The process, initiated as a tender and now in the award stage, began on the 17th of July, 2026. The awarded contract will commence on the 1st of September, 2026, and run until the 31st of July, 2028. The location of the service includes a range of areas from British Oversea Territories to the United Kingdom. The procurement approach utilised a mini-competition against a Dynamic Purchasing System, with a deadline for submissions on the 17th of July, 2026, and clarification questions by the 16th of July, 2026. The contract, valued at GBP 20,900, was awarded to Cam Cab Ltd on the 22nd of July, 2026.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the transport sector, particularly those that can provide passenger services. Companies with the capability to supply a 4-seated vehicle and operate across diverse locations, from Suffolk to overseas destinations, are well-suited for such contracts. Although this specific tender has concluded, similar future opportunities can prove beneficial for growth, especially for larger transport firms that can meet stringent procurement criteria. Businesses should monitor Suffolk County Council's procurement notices to take advantage of potential opportunities for collaboration and market expansion. Additionally, while this contract was not aimed at SMEs or VCSEs, future procurements might provide avenues for these sectors to engage with public contracts.
