## Summary

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has awarded a contract to 24x7 Ltd for providing transport services without waste transport. The procurement, associated with CPV code 60000000, was part of a dynamic purchasing system aimed at supplying passenger transport services. The contract pertains to a route from Brandon to Aurora Eccles School in Quidenham, Norfolk, requiring a 4-seated vehicle. The process reached the award stage on 22 July 2026, and the contract period is from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2031. Suffolk County Council serves as the buying organisation, located at Russell Road, Ipswich, Suffolk, with relevant contact through Marina Akhmetzyanova. The deadline for any clarification questions was 16 July 2026, with the submissions collected by 17 July 2026. The procurement was not open to SMEs or VCSEs, focusing on providing services through large-scale suppliers.

This contract offers substantial opportunities for companies involved in the transport services industry, particularly those with capabilities to meet long-term transport needs.

Businesses capable of fulfilling dynamic and flexible service requirements will find themselves well-suited, provided they meet the large-scale operation requirements set out by Suffolk County Council. Suppliers in the transport sector catering to educational institutions are encouraged to consider such contracts, as they offer a stable and ongoing revenue source throughout the contract period.
