Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for the Stowlangtoft to Norton Primary School route. The requirement is a school transport service, with the route associated with Stowlangtoft and Norton Primary School in Suffolk. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. The procurement falls within the broader category of transport services, excluding waste transport. It was run as a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. The service is intended to transport pupils on the specified school route, so relevant businesses are operators able to provide reliable, scheduled passenger transport for a school journey in the Suffolk area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini-competition under the passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The submission deadline was 14 July 2026 at 09:00, with clarification questions due by 8 July 2026 at 09:00. The award was made on 13 July 2026 to Turners of Gt Barton Ltd for £113,050. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 August 2031, with the council reserving the right to extend it until 31 July 2033. The award is active and covers the single stated school transport requirement. The published data does not state a separate evaluation weighting or procurement method beyond the mini-competition route.

This award is commercially relevant to passenger transport operators serving education and local-authority routes in Suffolk. A competitor would need to demonstrate dependable daily school transport, suitable vehicles, competent drivers and the operational capacity to maintain a fixed route throughout the school term and contract period. Local knowledge of Stowlangtoft, Norton and the surrounding Suffolk area would support reliable journeys and contingency planning. The successful supplier was Turners of Gt Barton Ltd, showing that an established regional transport operator can meet this type of requirement. The opportunity also indicates demand for dedicated school-route services bought through the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, so businesses should be prepared to compete through that route when comparable requirements return.
