Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured a passenger transport service for a four-seat journey from Melton to East Coast Adventures in Woodbridge, Suffolk. The requirement is a specific journey rather than a general transport service: suppliers need to provide transport for the route and vehicle capacity described. The council is the buyer, and the service is associated with its passenger transport function. The procurement sits within the wider supply of passenger transport services. The destination is Woodbridge; the journey is identified as starting in Melton. This is a service contract, not a purchase of vehicles or transport infrastructure.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to M&R (Woodbridge) Ltd. The award date was 30 September 2026, with an awarded value of £1,383.20. The contract period runs from 2 October 2026 to 31 August 2027; the council reserved the right to extend it up to 31 July 2028. The council ran a mini-competition through its Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The stated submission deadline was 30 September 2026, and the clarification-question deadline was 29 September 2026. The service was specified for a four-seat vehicle. No evaluation criteria are stated in the available process details.

For suppliers assessing similar passenger transport work for Suffolk County Council, this award demonstrates demand for a small, route-specific journey between Melton and Woodbridge, rather than a large fleet or network contract. A credible competitor would need to deliver passenger transport using a vehicle suited to a four-seat requirement and reliably cover the named journey. The successful supplier was M&R (Woodbridge) Ltd, showing that a local Woodbridge operator has delivered this requirement. The route and vehicle capacity are useful indicators of the operational scale and type of supplier that can meet this buyer’s need. The competition was run through a passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, so suppliers seeking comparable work should be positioned to participate through that route.
