Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured a passenger transport service for a four-seat journey from Haverhill to Yellow House in Clare. The requirement is a specific route-based service, rather than general transport provision, and is part of the council’s passenger transport programme. The delivery locations named for the route are Haverhill and Yellow House, Clare; the buyer is based in Ipswich, Suffolk. The service falls within transport services (CPV 60000000).

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Suffolk County Council ran a mini-competition under its Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. Dash Travel UK Ltd was selected, with an award value of £39,102. The award date was 24 September 2026, and the contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The council reserved the right to extend the contract up to 31 July 2030. The competition sought submissions by 24 September 2026, with clarification questions due by 23 September 2026. This was a single route requirement; the published outcome gives no evaluation criteria or selection basis.

For a future version of this requirement, a credible supplier would need to provide a four-seat passenger transport service covering the Haverhill–Yellow House, Clare route. The award to Dash Travel UK Ltd demonstrates that the council used its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system to source this small, defined route requirement. Suppliers already equipped to deliver passenger journeys on this corridor, with suitable vehicle capacity and the operational ability to provide the specified service, are best aligned with the need. The work is route-specific rather than a broad transport operation, so relevant experience would be in delivering dependable passenger transport on a comparable local route. The outcome identifies the type and scale of service that met the buyer’s requirement; it does not establish additional qualification or accreditation conditions.
