Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has completed the procurement process for a passenger transport service titled "QIP092 09:00 2025-06-24 Ipswich, Suffolk to Holbrook Academy, Holbrook, Ipswich, Suffolk." This procurement falls under the transport services industry category and is located in Ipswich, Suffolk. The contracting authority concluded the award stage of the process on 24th June 2025, with the contract period set from 3rd September 2025 to 31st July 2030. The procurement was carried out through a Dynamic Purchasing System, specifically targeting the supply of passenger transport services, although the procurement method details were not specified.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in transport services, particularly those capable of providing regular, reliable passenger transport. The dynamic purchasing system approach could allow suppliers like "Cabs Smart," who successfully secured the award valued at £47,500, to gain long-term contractual agreements and expand their operational footprint. However, the procurement does not emphasize suitability for SMEs or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), suggesting it is more tailored for established transport providers with the capability to service a wider geographical area. The strategic location in a major town such as Ipswich enhances the potential for business growth thanks to its regional connectivity and demand for transport services.
