The procurement, classified under the transport services category, was conducted using a dynamic purchasing system with a call-off contract from an OJEU notice, ID 2018/S 031-067685. The award phase was completed with the contract being awarded to YOURCAB LIMITED, valued at £102,075.60, despite another award to Universal Cabs Ltd for £100,696.2, indicating multiple awards in this process. The service is set to commence on 29th September 2025 and will run until 31st July 2030, serving the area around Suffolk with an ultimate reach to various named locations including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man. This procurement opens up notable opportunities for businesses in the passenger transport sector, particularly those capable of providing reliable services within the agreed locations. While the dynamic purchasing system offers a selective procurement method, it supports business growth by enabling companies like YOURCAB LIMITED and Universal Cabs Ltd to secure long-term contracts. Companies seeking to expand their portfolio in governmental transport contracts, especially those with established capabilities in school and commuter transport services, would find this procurement advantageous. Larger organisations or those with strategic alliances may also leverage similar opportunities to enhance their market presence in regional and specialized transport services across diverse geographical locations served by Suffolk County Council. ## Notice Suffolk County Council is seeking a mini competition against the following Dynamic Purchasing System: 'The supply of Passenger Transport Services', OJEU Notice Id: 2018/S 031-067685.
