Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport commissioned a passenger transport service for a four-seat journey from Sudbury to The Albany Academy in Bury St Edmunds. The requirement sits within the council’s wider passenger transport services programme and concerns a specific school journey rather than general transport provision. The supplier is expected to provide suitable transport for the route and passenger capacity described. The delivery locations named are Sudbury and Bury St Edmunds, in Suffolk.

The procurement has been completed and awarded to BMF Cars. The award was made on 30 September 2026, for £13,243. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The council ran the requirement as a mini-competition under its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The deadline for submissions was 29 September 2026, and clarification questions were due by 28 September 2026. This was a single, four-seat journey requirement. The award information does not set out the evaluation criteria or explain how bids were scored.

This award confirms demand from Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport for a small-capacity, school-focused journey between Sudbury and The Albany Academy in Bury St Edmunds. Suppliers positioned for comparable work need to provide dependable passenger transport for a defined route and fit a four-seat requirement, with the operational ability to serve both locations. The work was bought through a mini-competition within the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, so familiarity with participating in that route to market would be relevant when competing for similar requirements. The selected provider was a local company, indicating that suppliers able to operate effectively in Suffolk may be well placed. The requirement is specific rather than a broad transport service, so a credible competitor would need to match its route, passenger capacity and school-journey purpose.
