## Summary

Suffolk County Council has completed the awarding stage of a procurement process for passenger transport services from Oulton to Castle Farm Countryside Classroom in Burgh Castle, Norfolk. This contract, under the Dynamic Purchasing System "The supply of Passenger Transport Services," was awarded on 21st January 2026, with the contract active from 26th January to 31st August 2026.

This project falls under the services procurement category, with a contract extension permissible until 31st December 2026. Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport managed the procurement, with JOHN DALLEN acting as the contact person.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those capable of operating small passenger vehicles, as the contract involves a 4-seated vehicle requirement. While the competition was realised through a mini-competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System, businesses that can demonstrate a reliable service delivery in this sector could benefit from engaging in similar future opportunities. However, it is noted that this specific procurement was not aimed at small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), indicating a preference for larger or more established transport providers for this project.
