It is a services contract, classified under CPV 60000000 for transport services excluding waste transport.

The requirement is aimed at an operator able to provide regular passenger transport on the specified route and to meet the operational needs of the council’s passenger transport service. The awarded supplier is based in Elmswell, near Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, indicating that the service is delivered within the Suffolk area.

This procurement has been awarded following a mini competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services.

The original submission deadline was 09:00 on 17 August 2026, with clarification questions due by 15:00 on 7 August 2026. The tender’s stated delivery postcode was IP1 2BX. The procurement was assessed through the council’s mini-competition route under the passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. The contract award is active.

This award provides a clear indication of demand from Suffolk County Council for dedicated passenger transport on a defined education-related route. Passenger transport operators with suitable vehicles, competent drivers, reliable scheduling and the operational capacity to provide a regular service would be the natural competitors when comparable requirements return. Suppliers seeking similar work should understand the council’s passenger transport operating model and be able to participate through its dynamic purchasing system mini-competition route. All Day Cars’ award demonstrates that a local Suffolk operator can satisfy this type of requirement. The opportunity is relevant to businesses focused on contracted passenger journeys rather than general haulage, waste transport or unrelated vehicle services.
