This process operated under a Dynamic Purchasing System, highlighting the supply of transport services excluding waste transport. The procurement followed a selective method, involving a call-off from said system. The formal contract began on 12th May 2026 and will extend until 31st July 2028, with a total contract value of £37,962 GBP. Key parties include Suffolk County Council as the buyer and Hawk Express Cabs Ltd alongside YourCab Limited as suppliers, reflecting a collaborative effort to enhance transport services in Suffolk and beyond, including the UK and overseas territories.

Businesses specialising in dynamic and responsive passenger transport solutions stand to gain, utilising the geographic diversity and federally supported infrastructure inherent in this procurement.
