Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport for the Martlesham Heath–Sendsory, Ipswich route. The requirement called for a four-seat vehicle and a passenger assistant (PA), indicating a small-scale, assisted transport service. The work is associated with Ipswich and surrounding Suffolk; the listed delivery postcode is IP1 2BX. The procurement was run as a mini-competition under the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The published item is described as transport services (CPV 60000000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Call A Cab Ipswich. The award was made on 19 October 2026, at a value of £15,707.83. The contract period runs from 20 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. Bidders were asked to submit their responses by 09:00 on 19 October 2026, with clarification questions due by 09:00 on 16 October 2026. This was a mini-competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System. The supplied information identifies the vehicle and passenger-assistant requirement but does not set out the evaluation criteria or a more detailed procurement method.

For a supplier considering similar Suffolk County Council work, this award shows demand for passenger transport on a defined Ipswich-area route, using a four-seat vehicle with a passenger assistant. A credible competitor would need to provide a suitably sized vehicle and a PA as part of the service, and be able to deliver the route reliably throughout the contract period. Call A Cab Ipswich was selected through a mini-competition under the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, so suppliers seeking comparable work should be positioned to compete through that route and meet the council’s service requirements. The requirement is specifically for assisted, low-capacity passenger transport rather than general transport provision.
