## Summary

Suffolk County Council recently concluded a public procurement process for the provision of passenger transport services, specifically a 4-seater vehicle with a PA, servicing the route from Lowestoft, Kessingland to Wetheringsett Manor School. The procurement, under the category of transport services excluding waste transport, was executed through a selective method, via a Dynamic Purchasing System call-off. The tender reached the award update stage, completed with the contract commencement set for 28 April 2026 and ending on 31 July 2027. This procurement opportunity covered various geographical delivery addresses, including Suffolk, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and elsewhere in the UK. Notably, the submissions deadline was on 23 April 2026, with a prior deadline for clarification questions on 22 April 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in passenger transport services, especially those capable of operating in the outlined regions. With an awarded contract value of approximately £64,350.72, the successful suppliers, such as London Hire Community Services Ltd and Dan's Prebooked Cars, demonstrate the potential for growth in small to medium enterprises within this sector. Companies with capabilities in providing tailored transport solutions and equipped staff can leverage this type of procurement to expand their service offerings and client base, particularly within the public transport sector operated by local councils like Suffolk County Council.
