The contract, titled "QSC191 09:00 2025-07-21 Ipswich, Suffolk to The Ryes Collee & Community, Assington, Suffolk - AWARD," is situated in the transport services industry, excluding waste transport. This process was carried out using a selective procurement method as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender stage was completed, with the award active from 21st July 2025. The contract is scheduled to run from 4th September 2025 to 31st July 2029, with a project location based primarily in Suffolk, and further deliveries potentially across various regions including the United Kingdom and Europe. This procurement presents a significant opportunity for growth to businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those familiar with catering to government tenders through dynamic purchasing systems.
