## Summary

Suffolk County Council has progressed to the award stage in its procurement process for the provision of passenger transport services between Sudbury and Riverwalk School, Bury St Edmunds. The contracting process was initiated through a mini competition under their Dynamic Purchasing System. The awarded contract, comprised within the industry category of transport services, was concluded with 24x7 Ltd. The tender, classified under CPV code 60000000, had a submission deadline of 8th April 2025, and the contract has been formally active since 22nd April 2025. This procurement process facilitates transport involving multiple regions including the United Kingdom, encompassing a substantial contract value of £189,763.07, set to last until 31st July 2027.

This tender presents diverse opportunities for businesses specialising in passenger transport services, particularly those with capacity for multi-regional operations. While Suffolk County Council has opted for 24x7 Ltd as their supplier, the enduring need for transport solutions in similar public sector contracts suggests that firms offering scalable, reliable, and efficient services could gain a competitive edge. Although the contract does not specifically indicate preferences for SMEs or VCSEs, established transport companies poised to meet large-scale regional needs, such as those spanning British Oversea Territories and Europe, may find lucrative prospects in dynamic purchasing systems employed by government entities.
