Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for the journey described as Kedington to Leading Lives in Bury St Edmunds. The requirement was for a vehicle with four seats and a personal assistant, supporting transport to the Leading Lives service. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle-only hire, so delivery depends on both suitable transport provision and an accompanying support person. The procurement is associated with Suffolk County Council and the service location is Bury St Edmunds, with the route beginning in Kedington. The relevant service category is transport services, excluding waste transport, under CPV 60000000.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. Suffolk County Council awarded the contract to Star Cabs LTD on 21 September 2026 for £20,465.28. The contract runs from 22 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender closed on 21 September 2026 at 11:00, with clarification questions due by 09:00 that day. The tender was recorded as a services procurement and the process is complete. The award is active. The available information identifies the mini-competition route and the selected supplier, but does not set out a separate price-quality weighting or other evaluation formula.

This award shows a defined local requirement for supported passenger transport serving a Leading Lives destination in Bury St Edmunds from Kedington. Suppliers seeking similar work with Suffolk County Council would need to combine reliable passenger transport operations with access to a four-seated vehicle and a personal assistant for the service. Credible competitors would therefore need practical capacity to provide both the vehicle and accompanying support on the required journey, rather than offering vehicle hire alone. The contract also demonstrates that the council uses a Dynamic Purchasing System mini-competition for this type of transport requirement, making familiarity with that purchasing route relevant. Passenger transport businesses able to provide consistent, supported journeys at this scale are the closest commercial fit.
