## Summary

The Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has completed the award stage for the tender titled "QSB402 1400 2025-08-15 Little Thurlow - Olive academy, Stowmarket (4-seated vehicle required)." The procurement falls under the industry category of transport services, excluding waste transport, and is executed for the United Kingdom. The award date was 18th August 2025, following a procurement process initiated as a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System. The contract period spans from 4th September 2025 to 31st July 2030, and the contract was awarded to the supplier 'spikestravel'.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, especially for companies specialising in passenger transport services. Despite the process not being open to SMEs and VCSEs, larger transport service providers can greatly benefit from securing long-term contracts with local government bodies. Businesses equipped with the capacity to supply four-seated vehicles, and capable of providing services across Suffolk and potentially broader regions, would be well-suited to participate in similar opportunities, capitalising on the project's stability and duration.
