Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has completed an award process for supplying passenger transport services from Hartest to Hartest Primary School. This procurement falls under the transport services category, with classification ID 60000000, covering a range of locations including British Oversea Territories and the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is marked as complete, with key dates being the deadline for submission on 13th July 2026 and the start of the contract period from 3rd September 2026 until 31st July 2031. The procurement method was unspecified, and the selection was made through a dynamic purchasing system as per the OJEU Notice Id: 2018/S 031-067685. Andrew Gee from the Suffolk County Council is the contact person for further inquiries.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in passenger transport services to capitalise on government procurement contracts, particularly within the United Kingdom. The awarded contract, valued at £115,900, has been granted to First Stop Travel EA Limited, indicating that entities with reliable service capabilities in regional transport might find similar opportunities advantageous for growth. The project duration and stable contract terms provide a steady revenue stream over five years, making it an attractive proposition for businesses seeking long-term engagement in public contracts. However, this specific contract does not favour small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.
