The contract is valued at £20,542.80 and will run from 9th December 2025 to 31st August 2026, with an option for the council to extend it until 31st December 2026. The main delivery location is Suffolk, United Kingdom, with services potentially extending to British Oversea Territories, Europe, and beyond.

Businesses should be equipped to handle cross-regional transport logistics and provide reliable services to meet Suffolk County Council's standards. As the procurement method details were not explicitly specified, companies skilled in flexible and competitive tendering processes will be at an advantage.
