Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for Woodbridge Road Academy in Ipswich. The requirement was for a four-seated vehicle and a passenger assistant, supporting transport associated with the Hadleigh–Woodbridge Road Academy route. The work is classified as transport services and falls within the services category. Delivery is associated with Ipswich, Suffolk, including the council’s Russell Road location. The procurement was run by Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, which buys and manages passenger transport arrangements for the county. This opportunity is therefore relevant to passenger transport operators able to provide a small vehicle together with an accompanying passenger assistant for an education-related service in Ipswich.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 29 July 2026 to All Travel Services LTD. The award value is £120,745. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2031. It was conducted as a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services. The tender deadline was 9:00am on 24 July 2026, with clarification questions due by 9:00am on 23 July 2026. The tender was marked complete, and the active award covers the full stated contract period. A single supplier was selected for the requirement; no separate lot awards or alternative suppliers are recorded.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined requirement from Suffolk County Council for education-related passenger transport using a four-seated vehicle and a passenger assistant. The relevant competitor profile is a passenger transport operator able to provide a small-capacity vehicle, a suitably reliable passenger assistant arrangement and consistent service delivery for a school-related route in Ipswich. Suppliers would need to be able to operate through the council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System and compete through its mini-competition route. The requirement is not presented as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so businesses should assess whether their organisational scale, operational capacity and public-sector passenger transport experience match the buyer’s established supplier requirements.
