Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport orchestrated a public procurement process titled "QOC791 Bury St Edmunds to Kingsbrook School Southburgh, Norfolk." This contract falls under the transport services industry, excluding waste transport, and its procurement was conducted as a mini competition through a Dynamic Purchasing System. The procurement stage was in the award phase as of 19th September 2025. The contract is set to commence on 22nd September 2025 and will conclude by 31st July 2030. The relevant locations include Bury St Edmunds and Kingsbrook School in Southburgh, Norfolk, with an impact extending across the United Kingdom and beyond. The award was valued at £197,106 and the supplier for this contract was Foxy Cars Private Hire Services Ltd.

This procurement process presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in passenger transport services to expand their reach, particularly those capable of providing consistent and reliable service throughout the contract period. While the contract has already been awarded to a private hire services company, similar future opportunities can be advantageous for businesses with a strong presence in the UK transport sector, scalability to meet high service standards, and the capacity to adhere to public procurement regulations. This type of contract is especially suitable for companies well-versed in dynamic purchasing systems and capable of competing in a competitive market landscape.
