## Summary

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has completed the award stage for a tender regarding the supply of passenger transport services, specifically for the route from Sedge Fen to Mildenhall College Academy. The award was issued on 27th June 2025, with Suffolk County Council acting as the buying organisation. The procurement falls under the transport services industry category, and is applicable to various locations including the United Kingdom. Key deadlines included the submission deadline on 27th June 2025 at 09:00 and the clarification questions deadline on 24th June 2025 at 09:00. The contract is set to commence on 3rd September 2025 and will end on 31st August 2030, with the possibility of extension up to 31st July 2031. The procurement method is part of a dynamic purchasing system and thus unspecified in detail.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transportation services, as it involves a substantial contract valued at £319,200. While Suffolk County Council has awarded the contract to Coach Services Ltd, businesses that can address logistics and have experience in passenger services might find future procurement opportunities with the council promising. Given the absence of specific SME or VCSE suitability criteria, larger transportation firms are best positioned to compete in similar tenders. This contract opens avenues for expansion through direct involvement in regional transport services managed by public authorities.
