Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for the Shotley to Sir Bobby Robson School journey in Ipswich. The requirement called for a four-seated vehicle to transport passengers on this specific route. The procurement is part of the council’s passenger transport service requirements and concerns a defined journey rather than general transport provision. The listed delivery address is in Ipswich, Suffolk. The buyer is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Andrew Fisk. The award date was 10 September 2026, and the contract period runs from 11 September 2026 to 31 July 2031. The awarded value is £79,575.42. The competition was run through a mini-competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. Submissions were due by 10 September 2026, with clarification questions due by 9 September 2026. The procurement was classified as a services contract. The published information identifies a single journey requirement and a four-seated vehicle; it does not describe further evaluation criteria.

This award shows a specific requirement from Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport for a small-capacity vehicle serving a school journey between Shotley and Sir Bobby Robson School in Ipswich. A credible competitor for similar work would need to provide a suitable four-seated vehicle and reliably deliver this defined passenger route over a sustained contract period. The buyer used a mini-competition within its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, so suppliers seeking comparable council work would need to be positioned to compete through that route. The recorded suitability settings do not identify the requirement as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award provides evidence of demand for a tightly specified school transport service, rather than a broad passenger transport operation.
