Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured a passenger transport service for the Troston to Honington Primary School route, requiring an eight-seat vehicle. The service supports school travel between the named locations in Suffolk and falls within the broader category of transport services, excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000). The council is the buying organisation and the requirement is specific to transporting pupils on this route rather than supplying general vehicle hire or wider transport infrastructure. Businesses relevant to this requirement would include operators able to provide a suitable eight-seat vehicle and deliver reliable, regular school-route passenger transport for the council.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services. All submissions were due by 24 August 2026 at 09:00, with clarification questions due by 19 August 2026 at 09:00. The contract was awarded on 24 August 2026 to All Day Cars for £158,270. Its 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 recorded as active and the tender as complete. The published information does not state a separate evaluation weighting or criteria.

This award is useful market evidence for passenger transport operators serving Suffolk schools. A credible future competitor would need to operate an eight-seat vehicle, provide dependable scheduled journeys between Troston and Honington Primary School, and manage the practical demands of regular pupil transport. The requirement was run as a mini-competition under a passenger transport dynamic purchasing system, so businesses considering similar council work would need to understand and qualify for that purchasing route. The council recorded the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that a supplier with established operational capacity, appropriate transport resources and the ability to meet public-sector service requirements would be better placed.
