Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has completed the award stage of a procurement process titled "QHL042 09:00 2026-07-28 Sudbury to The Arch @ Castle Manor, Haverhill." This contract, under the services category - specifically transport services excluding waste transport (CPV code: 60000000), is set in the United Kingdom. The procurement initially opened under a dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services, with key deadlines having occurred between July 24 and July 28, 2026, and the contract award confirmed on July 29, 2026. The contract will commence on September 3, 2026, and extend until July 31, 2029, with the option for extension until July 2031.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in passenger transport services. With a contract value of £151,050, there's a substantial opportunity for business growth for companies capable of meeting the transport needs as outlined. While the initial competition has concluded with the contract awarded to John Barry T/A John's Taxis, businesses in similar fields with the capacity to serve UK and potentially broader locations could benefit from pursuing similar dynamic purchasing system opportunities in the future. The project scope and potential future extensions provide ample space for business expansion within Suffolk County and beyond.
