Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has completed the award stage of a public procurement contract for passenger transport services under the reference QBH200. This contract involves transporting passengers with an assistant from Lowestoft to Bramfield House School, Bramfield, featuring an 8-seater capacity. The procurement process took place under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services, and the completed contract is valued at £242,250. The contract period commences on 3rd September 2026 and is set to conclude on 31st August 2031, with a possible extension until 2033. The supplier awarded the contract is Philip Overy trading as Angies Tours, based in Lowestoft, Suffolk. Key deadlines included a submission closing date of 20th July 2026.

This tender provides significant growth opportunities for businesses in the transport services industry, particularly those with the capability to provide passenger transport between educational institutions. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are noted as being less suitable for this opportunity, indicating it may be best suited for well-established transport operators. Companies with a history of engaging in dynamic purchasing systems and those well-versed in maintaining long-term contracts for public sector services would find this opportunity particularly beneficial for expanding their service offerings and client base within the UK, and potentially among British overseas territories, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, and Europe.
