Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council, through its Passenger Transport division, recently completed a tender process aimed at providing transport services for Roman Hill Primary School in Lowestoft. Tagged under the transport services industry (CPV: 60000000), the procurement process was at the award stage as of 8th April 2026. The related tender, identified as LT210, was a mini competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services, with an initial deadline for submissions set for 7th April 2026. The ensuing contract is set to commence on 13th April 2026 and run until 31st July 2029, providing services across several locations, including the UK and international territories such as the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses in the transport sector, particularly those capable of providing efficient passenger transportation services within the specified locations. The contract, valued at approximately £4.39 million, was awarded to Five One Taxis Ltd, indicating the scale and scope of the service required. Although the tender specifies non-applicability for SMEs and VCSEs, larger firms with capacities to manage long-term contracts and multi-regional operations are well-suited to engage in such opportunities, thereby enabling business expansion in strategic geographic areas.
