Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured a passenger transport service for a route from Felixstowe to Bramfield House School in Bramfield. The requirement was for transport with four passenger seats and a passenger assistant (PA). It is a service contract focused on carrying passengers to the school; the listed delivery address is in Ipswich, while the route and school are identified in the requirement title. The buyer is Suffolk County Council’s passenger transport team. The opportunity formed part of the council’s wider passenger transport purchasing arrangements, with this requirement run as a mini-competition. It is relevant to operators able to provide suitable passenger vehicles and an accompanying passenger assistant for this specific school journey.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Easy Cabs East Anglia Limited. The award date was 25 September 2026, and the awarded value is £38,934.80. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The council ran a mini-competition under its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. Submissions were due by 09:00 on 24 September 2026, and clarification questions by 09:00 on 23 September 2026. The requirement was a single described route, with four seats and a passenger assistant. The published procurement data does not set out the evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements, so the award basis cannot be described further. The contract is recorded as awarded and active.

This award shows demand from Suffolk County Council for a defined school passenger transport route requiring four seats and a passenger assistant. A credible competitor when a similar requirement returns would need to operate passenger transport services, provide a vehicle with the required seating capacity and supply an appropriately capable passenger assistant. The route links Felixstowe with Bramfield House School in Bramfield, so operators able to serve those locations would be well placed. The buyer used a mini-competition within its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, making familiarity with that purchasing route relevant. The successful supplier was Easy Cabs East Anglia Limited, demonstrating that the requirement was met by a passenger transport operator. The buyer’s stated suitability flags do not indicate suitability for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.
