Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport commissioned a passenger transport service for a journey from Haverhill to Cambridge Regional College in Milton, Cambridgeshire. The requirement calls for a four-seater vehicle. The work is a specific route service rather than a general transport contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Dash Travel UK Ltd on 16 October 2026. The award value is £37,079.64. The contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 31 July 2029. The council ran a mini-competition under its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. Submissions were due by 09:00 on 15 October 2026, and clarification questions by 09:00 on 13 October 2026. The published information does not describe the evaluation criteria. The requirement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers assessing this buyer’s passenger transport requirements, this award shows a defined need for a four-seater vehicle on the Haverhill-to-Cambridge Regional College route. A credible competitor would need to provide passenger transport using a vehicle with that capacity and serve the specified journey. The council used a mini-competition within its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, so familiarity with competing through that route would be relevant. This is a focused, single-route requirement, not evidence of a broader transport service specification.
