## Summary

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has recently awarded a contract for the provision of passenger transport services, specifically a four-seated vehicle with a female personal assistant, from Ipswich to New College Worcester. This contract falls under the transport services industry category and was part of a mini competition within the Dynamic Purchasing System, with significant deadlines including a clarification deadline on 28th August 2025 and submission deadline on 29th August 2025. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, with the contract running from 3rd September 2025 to 31st July 2027, potentially extending to 2028. The contract, valued at £72,960 GBP, was awarded to Cabs Smart, a supplier based in Ipswich, Suffolk, UK.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses involved in the provision of specialised transport services, especially those capable of facilitating such contracts within the specified delivery areas. Although this contract did not favour SMEs or VCSEs, businesses with similar capabilities as Cabs Smart might find prospects in dynamically competitive procurements through the Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport's system. Companies experienced in offering seat-based transport and adaptable to client-specific requirements, such as gender-specific personal assistants, are well-suited to participate in similar future tenders.
