UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Associated British Ports is procuring on-port haulage services for its Ipswich port operations. The requirement covers transport services, excluding waste transport, with delivery in Ipswich, England. This is a services opportunity for businesses that move cargo, materials or other loads within a port environment and support port logistics. The buyer is Associated British Ports, a private utility operating ports in the UK. The tender is presented as a single requirement covering the Ipswich operation. Suppliers should review the tender documents for the detailed service scope, operating arrangements, equipment expectations and site-specific requirements before deciding whether their haulage or logistics capability is suitable.

The process has reached tender: Associated British Ports invited suppliers to submit offers through an open procedure. Questions were due by 20 July 2026 at 12:00, and tender responses were due by 24 August 2026 at 17:00. The estimated tender value is £650,000 excluding tax and £780,000 including tax. The single lot is recorded separately as AED 650,000 excluding tax and AED 780,000 including tax. The contract is scheduled to run from 3 December 2026 to 2 December 2029, with a possible 24-month extension in 12-month increments, allowing continuation until 2 December 2031. Evaluation is weighted 70% technical and 30% commercial. Offers may be submitted electronically in English. The intended award decision date is 12 October 2026.

This opportunity is commercially relevant to haulage operators, port logistics businesses and transport contractors able to provide on-port haulage in Ipswich. It suits suppliers with the vehicles, drivers, supervision and operational controls needed to move loads reliably within a port setting, as well as businesses experienced in coordinating transport around port activities and site rules. The technical element carries substantially more weight than price, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate a credible operating model, service quality and ability to manage delivery requirements. The work is suitable for an established operator or a logistics provider with sufficient operational capacity to support a multi-year port service and any extension period.
