Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport commissioned a passenger transport service for a four-seat journey with a passenger assistant, from Beccles to The Woodview Project in Worlingham. The requirement is for transport to support travel to the project; the named route and small vehicle capacity indicate a focused, individual transport service rather than a general bus operation. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. This is a passenger transport service (CPV 60000000).

The procurement has been awarded following a mini-competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. Dan's Prebooked Cars was selected, with an award value of £9,692.28. The award date was 15 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The service covers four seats and requires a passenger assistant on the Beccles–Worlingham route. The published information identifies the award and service requirement but does not set out the evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be described further.

This award shows demand from Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport for a small, dedicated passenger transport service linking Beccles with The Woodview Project in Worlingham, with an assistant accompanying passengers. Suppliers competing for this buyer’s comparable requirements would need to provide suitable vehicles with capacity for four passengers and reliably supply passenger-assistant support as part of the journey. Experience coordinating passenger transport on a defined route and delivering dependable, assisted travel would be relevant capabilities to demonstrate. The buyer used a mini-competition through its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, so suppliers would need to be positioned to participate through that route. The award went to a local prebooked-car operator, indicating that a specialist small-scale transport provider can meet this particular requirement.
