Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport is buying a passenger transport service for a journey from Great Yarmouth to Bramfield House School in Bramfield. The requirement is for transport with six passenger seats and a passenger assistant (PA), serving the school route. The procurement falls within transport services. The buyer is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich, and the service is associated with Suffolk and Norfolk locations. This is a specific school transport requirement rather than a general passenger transport service: suppliers need to be able to provide a vehicle with the stated seating capacity and a PA for the route.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Dan's Prebooked Cars. The award date was 15 October 2026, for £42,829.80. The contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The competition was run as a mini-competition under a dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services. Bids were due by 09:00 on 15 October 2026, and clarification questions by 11:00 on 14 October 2026. The published tender information identifies one school transport requirement, with six seats and a passenger assistant. The award record does not provide an evaluation method or award criteria.

For future requirements of this kind, credible suppliers will need to deliver school passenger transport on the Great Yarmouth–Bramfield route, with a vehicle providing six passenger seats and a passenger assistant. The buyer procures passenger transport through mini-competitions under a dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers should be equipped to participate in that route to market. The contract awarded to Dan's Prebooked Cars demonstrates that Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has bought a defined, route-based school service at a moderate operational scale. Businesses with the appropriate vehicle capacity, staffing to provide a PA, and the ability to serve the relevant localities are best placed to compete when this specific requirement returns.
