The tender falls under the industry category of Transport Services, with specific needs for a 4-seated vehicle. The procurement process is currently at the Award stage; M&R (Woodbridge) Ltd has been awarded the contract, valued at £96,900, and is expected to start on 4th September 2025, continuing until 31st July 2030. Prospective bidders had to submit clarification questions by 7th July 2025, with submissions due by 8th July 2025. The project covers locations including Suffolk, the United Kingdom, and potentially broader international scopes such as Europe and British Overseas Territories.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those with capacity to service educational institutions and tailor their offerings to specific logistical requirements. Companies like M&R (Woodbridge) Ltd, which secured this contract, demonstrate the viability of tapping into the demand for dedicated passenger transport solutions. Businesses equipped to handle mini-competition situations and dynamic purchasing systems will find such opportunities particularly appealing, although this specific contract was marked as unsuitable for SMEs or VCSEs. The long contract duration presents a stable business opportunity for continued services over several years, appealing to transport companies seeking consistent projects within the public sector realm.
