## Summary

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has concluded the procurement process for a new project in Ipswich aimed at providing transport services to a new skill centre located in Felixstowe. This tender, classified under the industry category of transport services, was managed through a mini competition leveraging a Dynamic Purchasing System. The procurement stage has moved to award status as of 28th July 2026, with Tony Kirby Transport Limited being selected as the supplier. The contract period is set from 1st September 2026 through to 31st July 2031, expecting service delivery across various locations, primarily the United Kingdom with a focus on Felixstowe and Ipswich.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in passenger transport services. Although the awarded supplier is Tony Kirby Transport Limited, the tender's characteristics highlight lucrative openings for companies capable of providing reliable transport solutions within the specified regions. With a contract value of £68,400, businesses with the capacity for four-seated vehicle provision and experience in public service delivery can find rich grounds for growth and potential future bids. The suitability criteria suggest involvement is less certain for SMEs or VCSEs, making it more appropriate for larger transport firms seeking to expand their market reach in public sector contracts.
