Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured a passenger transport service for a journey from Chevington to West Suffolk College (Minden House) in Bury St Edmunds. The requirement called for a four-seat vehicle, indicating a small-scale passenger journey rather than a larger coach service. This is transport service work (CPV 60000000), with the stated route and destination forming the core scope. The buyer is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. The procurement was run as a competition under the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, rather than as a standalone general transport requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Fotik Miah trading as A2Z Transport. The award date was 24 September 2026 and the awarded value was £51,391.20. The contract runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The competition was conducted under a Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The tender required a four-seat vehicle for the Chevington–West Suffolk College journey. The procurement was presented as a single requirement, with no separate lot awards. The stated tender response deadline was 09:00 on 24 September 2026, and clarification questions were due by 09:00 on 23 September 2026. The award record gives an active award status.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport for a compact vehicle to carry passengers between Chevington and West Suffolk College in Bury St Edmunds. Suppliers best placed for a comparable requirement would need to operate a four-seat vehicle and reliably serve this specific route and destination. The successful supplier was an individual trading as a transport business, showing that a large fleet was not necessary for this particular service. However, bidders would need the operational capacity to provide the required vehicle and maintain dependable service over a multi-year contract. The buyer used its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System and ran a mini-competition, so credible competitors would need to be able to participate through that purchasing route and respond to a route-specific transport requirement.
