Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has awarded a contract as part of their procurement process for the supply of transport services. The contract specifically involves the provision of a four-seater vehicle service from Bury St Edmunds/Stowmarket to The Walled Garden, Thornham Magna, with delivery locations including various regions from British Oversea Territories to the United Kingdom. This tender falls under the "Transport services (excl. Waste transport)" industry category, and the procurement process has reached the award stage. The contract period will commence on 2nd February 2026 and continue until 31st July 2030. The total value of the awarded contract to Hawk Express Cabs Ltd amounts to £83,821.92 GBP.

This procurement opportunity opens avenues for businesses in the transport services sector, especially those capable of providing reliable passenger transport solutions. While the tender has specific requirements, such as a four-seater vehicle, the inclusion of small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) was not a suitability criterion, suggesting a focus on established providers with experience in similar contractual engagements. Businesses well-equipped with a robust operational model and the capability to meet defined service routes and standards would have competitive advantages in such tenders.
