## Summary

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has concluded the procurement process for the contract titled "QOC858 2026-01-21 (0900) Lowestoft to Aurora Eccles School and Aurora White House School, Quidenham, Norfolk, NR16 2NZ - AWARD". This award, classified under CPV code 60000000 for Transport Services (excluding Waste transport), commenced following a mini competition conducted via a Dynamic Purchasing System, as per OJEU Notice Id: 2018/S 031-067685. The procurement stage is complete with the award being issued on 21 January 2026, and the contract commencing on 26 January 2026, running until 31 July 2031. The total contract value is £334,608.05. This project is significant for transport services across several locations including Suffolk, Norfolk, and potentially broader regions within the United Kingdom and internationally.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses within the transport services industry, particularly those possessing capabilities to manage dynamic and compliant transportation offerings. Companies with experience in servicing educational institutions or similar passenger transport needs would find competing for such opportunities highly beneficial to their portfolio. However, given the council's detailed requirements and the procurement method, including a competitive evaluation within the Dynamic Purchasing System, only suitably positioned firms with a strong track record in handling private transport services could efficiently harness this growth potential. Although the project is not specifically earmarked for small or voluntary sector enterprises, the long-term nature of this contract offers sustained business growth over a span of more than five years.
