Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport awarded a contract for the provision of transport services from Saxmundham to The Ashley School in Lowestoft using an 8-seated vehicle with a passenger assistant. This procurement falls under the transport services category (excluding waste transport) with CPV code 60000000, and is located in the East of England, United Kingdom. The contract started on 5th December 2024 and runs until 31st July 2029, following a tender process initiated as a mini-competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System. Key deadlines included a submission deadline by 2nd December 2024 and clarification questions by 29th November 2024.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses specialising in passenger transport services, particularly those that can provide vehicles equipped for passenger assistance. SMEs and VCSEs were unfortunately not deemed suitable for this particular contract, suggesting a preference for more established transport providers with the capacity to deliver over the long contract term. Rainbows Transport, based in Lowestoft, was the successful supplier, indicating an openness to local service providers with robust capabilities in providing specialised transportation solutions. The awarded contract is valued at GBP 273,674.10, contributing to business growth by securing long-term government contracts.
