Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for a scheduled route from Exning to Cambridge Regional College in Milton, Cambridgeshire. The requirement falls within transport services, covering the operation of journeys for passengers travelling to the college. The buyer is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Russell Road, Ipswich. The service is classified under CPV 60000000, transport services excluding waste transport. Delivery is associated with the Exning, Cambridge Regional College and Milton route, with the procurement also referring to the wider United Kingdom. This is a service contract for a specific education-related passenger transport requirement, rather than the supply of vehicles or transport equipment.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. The award was made on 22 July 2026 to Cambridge and Huntingdon Airport Travel Service for £50,144.80 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 09:00 on 22 July 2026, and clarification questions closed at 09:00 on 16 July 2026. The tender was marked complete, and the award is active. The published outcome identifies one supplier for the requirement. The procurement record does not set out a separate weighting or scoring basis for evaluation.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for passenger transport connecting Exning with Cambridge Regional College in Milton, supported by a contract lasting almost two years. A competitor seeking similar work from Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport would need to provide dependable scheduled passenger transport for an education route, with sufficient operational capacity to maintain the service throughout the contract period. The selected supplier is an airport travel service, indicating that relevant commercial transport experience and the ability to organise and deliver regular passenger journeys are pertinent. The opportunity is suited to established transport operators with vehicles, drivers, scheduling capability and the operational resilience needed for a fixed route serving a college. The procurement was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.
