Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport focuses on the provision of transport services, specifically for a four-seated vehicle with a passenger assistant, serving the route from Needham Market to Bramfield House School, Halesworth. This procurement falls under the 'Transport services (excluding Waste transport)' industry category and involves locations across the United Kingdom and selected European territories. The procurement stage is at the 'Award' phase, with the contract awarded on 11th December 2025. The tender period concluded at 09:00 on the same day. The awarded contract commences on 15th December 2025 and is set to run through 31st July 2030, with a possible extension until 2033.

This tender provides opportunities for growth specifically tailored to businesses proficient in transport services, particularly those with capacity to offer specialised transit solutions and staff inclusion, such as passenger assistants. Although the tender was awarded to 'Good to go rides ltd', it remains a substantial indicator of active demand in regional transport services, encouraging similar businesses to enhance their service offerings to align with public sector requirements. Businesses operating in Suffolk or nearby regions, with a focus on reliability and adherence to stipulated timelines, would find similar opportunities advantageous to pursue. The procurement method was conducted through a Dynamic Purchasing System, which shows a potential for further involvement in future tenders of a similar nature by qualified service providers.
