Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport bought passenger transport services for an individual journey between Mildenhall and Sendsory, Ipswich. The requirement was for a four-seated vehicle with a personal assistant, indicating transport for one passenger who needs dedicated support rather than a conventional shared bus service. The work is associated with Ipswich and the Mildenhall–Sendsory route. The service falls within transport services, covering the provision of the vehicle, driver and passenger assistance needed to complete the journey. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. This is a focused, route-specific service requirement rather than a broad transport contract covering a fleet or general network.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Suffolk County Council ran a mini-competition under its Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. Submissions were due by 09:00 on 29 June 2026, with clarification questions due by 09:00 on 26 June 2026. All Travel Services LTD was awarded the contract on 30 July 2026 for £198,930. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2031. The award is active and covers the single four-seat vehicle and personal-assistant requirement. The published process records the tender as a services procurement and identifies the route-specific transport need, with the award made to one supplier.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from Suffolk County Council for dedicated passenger transport combining a small vehicle with passenger-assistance support. Suppliers considering future requirements from this buyer would need reliable access to suitable four-seat vehicles, appropriately trained and dependable drivers, and personal assistants able to support an individual passenger throughout the service. Operational credibility would depend on maintaining consistent cover for a specific route, managing safeguarding and passenger-care responsibilities, and delivering a dependable service over a long contract period. Businesses with established local transport operations, appropriate staff capacity and experience in assisted or individual passenger journeys would be better placed to compete through the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System when comparable requirements return.
