## Summary

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has awarded a procurement contract for passenger transport services under the Dynamic Purchasing System, as announced in the award notice on 26 January 2026. The contract, titled "QIP406 1100 2026-01-26 Ipswich - St Mary's Roman Catholic School, Ipswich," involves the provision of a 4-seated vehicle aiming primarily at transport services excluding waste transport. The procurement falls within the services industry category and is aimed at covering locations primarily within the United Kingdom, including Ipswich, Suffolk. The contract period is set to commence on 27 January 2026 and conclude on 31 July 2026. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with Royal Rides being the successful supplier awarded the contract valued at £4,534.92 GBP.

This procurement offers growth opportunities particularly for businesses specialising in passenger transport services, capable of delivering efficient, reliable, and timely operations. Although the procurement suitability explicitly marked it as not targeted towards small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary organisations and charities, it nonetheless presents a valuable opportunity for established transport providers to expand their client base and solidify their presence in the transport services market in the Suffolk region. Companies in the transport sector with the capability to supply a 4-seated vehicle and provide high-quality transport services within the specified contractual timeframe would be well-suited to participate in this type of procurement.
