Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for The Woodview Project in Worlingham, serving the Bungay and Beccles area. The requirement was for a vehicle with six passenger seats and a female personal assistant (PA). The work falls within general transport services and is delivered in and around Worlingham, Suffolk, with the buyer based in Ipswich. This is a service requirement rather than a goods supply or construction project. It is relevant to operators providing supported passenger transport, community transport or similar assisted travel services, particularly those able to provide both an appropriately sized vehicle and a female PA as part of the service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. Submissions were due by 09:00 on 26 August 2026, with clarification questions due by 09:00 on 25 August 2026. The contract was awarded to PJ Wayland's Ltd on 28 August 2026. Its recorded value is £0. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 August 2031, and the council reserved the right to extend it until 31 July 2033. The award is active. The requirement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined local demand for supported passenger transport linked to an education, care or community project. A credible future competitor would need experience delivering reliable passenger transport for a named service user group, with the capacity to operate a six-seat vehicle and provide a female PA. Local knowledge of the Bungay, Beccles and Worlingham area would support dependable daily delivery, while the ability to work through the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System would be important for accessing similar competitions. The buyer’s stated requirement combines transport and personal assistance, so suppliers offering only vehicle hire or standard taxi services would be less well matched.
