Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has concluded the procurement process for local transport services under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services. The procurement is classified under CPV code 60000000, indicating focus on transport services excluding waste transport. This particular process, titled "QBE325 Bury St Edmunds to Lyward Colley Workshops, Bradfield St George," has culminated in an award stage as of 24th September 2025, and the service contract period spans from 25th September 2025 to 31st July 2026. The tender process, although now complete, catered to a geographical focus on Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, and further afield across the United Kingdom and other British territories. Key dates included the return submission deadline on 23rd September 2025 and clarification deadline on 22nd September 2025.

This tender represents a lucrative opportunity for businesses within the transport sector that specialise in services not related to waste transport. Particularly advantageous for established transport companies with a presence or capability within the specified regions, the contract value amounts to GBP 4,134.40. The procurement process, initiated as a mini-competition within a dynamic purchasing framework, allows such companies to expand their footprint and strengthen ties with Suffolk County Council. However, it's noteworthy that the tender was not targeted at SMEs or VCSEs, potentially favouring larger entities with considerable operational capacities. The successful supplier is Mr. Gunter Bartsch T/A Arrow cars, indicating competitive entry opportunities for similar businesses in future procurements.
