Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for a college journey from Haverhill to West Suffolk College in Bury St Edmunds. The requirement was for a four-seater vehicle, indicating a small-scale, dedicated passenger transport service rather than a large vehicle operation. The work is associated with Suffolk County Council and the route is centred on Haverhill and Bury St Edmunds, in Suffolk. It was run as a mini-competition under the Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. The service falls within the transport services category and covers the provision of the vehicle and associated transport operation for the specified journey.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It was conducted as a mini-competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The award date was 14 August 2026. All Day Cars was selected as the supplier, with an awarded value of £52,440. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The requirement was evaluated through the competition process, with the published information identifying the service scope, route and vehicle requirement. The procurement was for services, and the tender record describes a single passenger transport requirement rather than multiple lots. The contract covers the Haverhill to West Suffolk College, Bury St Edmunds journey.

For suppliers assessing comparable future demand from Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, this award demonstrates a requirement for reliable, small-capacity passenger transport linking Haverhill with West Suffolk College in Bury St Edmunds. A credible provider would need access to a suitable four-seater vehicle, the operational ability to deliver the specified route consistently, and experience of passenger transport services. The procurement route is also significant: suppliers need to understand and participate in mini-competitions under the Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. Local knowledge of Suffolk journeys, dependable scheduling and the capacity to meet education-related transport requirements would strengthen a competing offer when a similar requirement returns to market.
