Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has successfully progressed to the award stage for the project titled "QBE253 Brandon to Riverwalk School, Bury St Edmunds." This tender falls under the industry category of transport services, specifically excluding waste transport, with a CPV code of 60000000. The process involves a mini competition as part of a Dynamic Purchasing System. Key deadlines for this tender were the submission deadline on 7th May 2025 and the clarification question deadline on 6th May 2025. The contract period commences on 12th May 2025 and concludes on 31st July 2032. The procurement covers various geographic locations, primarily within the United Kingdom. The procurement method details are not specified, but the status of the tender is complete, with an award being made to CHESTNUT TRIP LIMITED.

This award provides significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in passenger transport services. The long-term nature of the contract, spanning over seven years, offers sustained work and potential for recurring business. Businesses equipped with capabilities in providing extensive transport solutions in areas like Suffolk and wider regions within the UK would find this particularly advantageous. The procurement process, structured as a mini competition within the Dynamic Purchasing System, highlights the potential for competitive advantages for businesses that are adept at navigating such frameworks and that can offer cost-effective, reliable, and innovative transport services solutions. Moreover, this procurement is well-suited for larger enterprises as opposed to smaller or voluntary organisations, given the non-suitability for SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises).
