Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process facilitated by Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport involves a contract for transporting from Ipswich to Circles Alternative Education in East Bergholt, classified under transport services. The recent tender, with reference ID QEH007, has reached the award stage, commencing on 5th June 2026 and ending on 31st July 2026. This award was published on 17th June 2026. The service will not involve waste transport and primarily caters to the United Kingdom, including several overseas territories. The primary contracting authority is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, with Lindsey Griffiths as the contact point.

This opportunity seeks to provide robust transport services and fosters involvement for businesses specialising in passenger transport logistics. However, it is less suited for SMEs and VCSEs, potentially benefiting larger transport companies with established resources and regional service networks. Businesses aiming to expand within public sector transport contracts may find growth potential through engagement with similar procurement opportunities. The procurement process engages with existing dynamic purchasing systems to streamline the competition process and contract delivery.
