Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for a school journey from Haverhill to Sir Peter Hall School in Bury St Edmunds. The requirement was for a four-seater vehicle to transport passengers on this specified route. The work falls within the broad category of transport services and is part of the council’s passenger transport activity. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich, Suffolk. Delivery is centred on the journey between Haverhill and Bury St Edmunds, serving the school destination. This is a focused vehicle-and-driver requirement rather than a general fleet, infrastructure or transport consultancy contract, so it is most relevant to operators able to provide a small passenger vehicle for school-related journeys in the Suffolk area.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 21 August 2026 to All Day Cars for £92,150. The awarded contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The council reserved the right to extend the contract until 31 July 2031. The process was a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services. The original tender deadline was 09:00 on 21 August 2026, with clarification questions due by 09:00 on 17 August 2026. The tender is recorded as complete and the award is active. The published information identifies the requirement and route but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or additional award criteria.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for scheduled passenger transport using a four-seater vehicle to support a school journey in Suffolk. A competitor seeking similar work from this buyer would need access to a suitable small passenger vehicle, reliable availability for the required route, and the operational capability to provide consistent school transport between Haverhill and Bury St Edmunds. Experience of passenger transport and the ability to work through the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System would strengthen credibility when comparable requirements return to market. The buyer’s decision also indicates that this type of work is delivered through a structured mini-competition route, so suppliers should be prepared to respond to route-specific requests rather than relying on a broad transport-services offer.
