## Summary

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has completed a public procurement process for the provision of passenger transport services, specifically for a route from Chediston to Wetheringsett Manor School. Designated as a transport services contract excluding waste transport, the industry category aligns with CPV code 60000000. This award marks the conclusion of the tender stage, originally detailed in a mini competition against the Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport. The procurement method was not specified, and the contract spans from 6th January 2026 to 31st July 2029. The award to 24x7 Ltd was finalised on 24th December 2025, with a contract value of £146,839.60. The procurement was governed by a timeline that included a submission deadline on 23rd December 2025 and a deadline for clarification questions set for 19th December 2025.

This procurement process offers significant opportunities to businesses involved in transport services, notably those capable of managing local school routes and similar logistics. Companies that specialise in passenger transport could find this type of contract beneficial for business expansion, given its substantial duration and financial value. Furthermore, while Suffolk County Council selected an experienced supplier, businesses of varied sizes within the transport sector can look out for future tenders that might be better suited to SMEs and VCSEs. Although this contract does not cater to SMEs, upcoming opportunities from Suffolk County Council could present potential growth avenues for growing transport providers seeking to enter public sector contracts.
