This involves the supply of transport services excluding waste transport, as indicated by the CPV code 60000000. The procurement stage is at the award update phase, with Whincop Coaches successfully securing the contract starting from 3rd September 2025 through to 31st July 2030, with the possibility of extension until 31st July 2033.

This transport services contract provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in passenger transport to enhance their growth by engaging with Suffolk County Council's dynamic purchasing system. While the current award is for Whincop Coaches, businesses that specialise in transport services and have experience in handling school and community routes can position themselves for future opportunities when the contract is due for renewal or extension.
