Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has completed the award stage for a contract titled "QOC847 2025-11-18 (0900) Ormesby, Norfolk to Old Buckenham High School, Attleborough (4 seated vehicle)". The contract falls under the industry category of transport services, specifically excluding waste transport. The award was made on 18th November 2025, and the contract is set to commence on 24th November 2025, lasting until 1st May 2026. The awarded contract value is £20,801.20 GBP, and the procurement was conducted as a mini competition within an existing Dynamic Purchasing System. The procurement method is not specifically detailed in the document, but the process involved a deadline for submissions by 18th November 2025 at 0900, with clarification questions due by 17th November 2025.

The contract provides a business growth opportunity, especially for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in passenger transport services within or around Suffolk and Norfolk. However, the suitability criteria indicated that it was not tailored specifically for SMEs or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Businesses with competitive pricing, quality service offerings in transport, and the ability to operate within the specified geographical area are well-suited to pursue similar contracts to expand their operations in the transport services sector. The involvement of Suffolk County Council ensures a reputable partnership, potentially leading to more procurement opportunities in the future.
