Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for a four-seat journey from Worlingham to Bramfield House School in Bramfield. The requirement is school transport on this specified route, rather than a general transport service. The buyer is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich.

The procurement was awarded following a mini-competition under a dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services. Royal Rides was selected, with an awarded value of £149,237.40. The award date was 25 September 2026, and the contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 July 2031. The requirement was described as a four-seat service between Worlingham and Bramfield House School, Bramfield.

This award shows demand from Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport for a dedicated four-seat school transport service on the Worlingham–Bramfield route. Suppliers with the operational capacity to provide a small, route-specific passenger service are the closest match to this requirement. The procurement was run as a mini-competition through a dynamic purchasing system, so familiarity with competing through that route would be relevant when pursuing comparable requirements from this buyer.
