## Summary

Suffolk County Council has completed a tender process for the acquisition of minibus transport services accommodating 9 to 16 seats, classified under the CPV code for transport services (excluding waste transport). The tender was initiated on 17 May 2022 and followed an open procurement method, adhering to the legal framework set by CELEX Regulation 32014L0024. Although the contract has been awarded to Thompsons Coaches Ltd, it is worth noting that the specific lot related to this procurement has been cancelled. The operational area for this service is within the UK region of Ipswich (postcode IP1 2BX).

This procurement opportunity creates significant potential for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those capable of providing appropriately sized minibuses and drivers. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in passenger transport and a strong focus on quality and customer service would be particularly well-suited to engage in similar tenders. Such opportunities can help foster business growth by allowing local firms to participate in public sector contracts, particularly those that meet the necessary specifications outlined in the tender.
