Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for the Great Livermere to Thurston Community School route. The requirement covers transport associated with a regular school journey, serving the route between Great Livermere and Thurston Community School in Suffolk. The contracting authority is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. The service falls within the broader category of passenger transport services, excluding waste transport, and is classified under CPV 60000000. The procurement was run as a call-off competition within the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. The appointed supplier is Turners of Gt Barton Ltd, a Suffolk-based transport business.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Turners of Gt Barton Ltd on 21 July 2026. The awarded value is £60,800. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with the council reserving the right to extend it until 31 July 2030. It was conducted as a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The deadline for submissions was 21 July 2026 at 09:00, and clarification questions had to be submitted by 15 July 2026 at 09:00. The award is active. The available information identifies the requirement as a services procurement and records the winning supplier and value, but does not set out an award weighting or detailed evaluation formula.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from Suffolk County Council for dedicated school-route passenger transport delivered over a multi-year period. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to operate reliable passenger transport services for scheduled school journeys, with the vehicles, drivers, safeguarding arrangements and operational capacity needed to maintain a fixed route consistently during the school term. Local knowledge of Suffolk, the ability to serve Great Livermere and Thurston, and experience coordinating transport for schools would strengthen a supplier’s position. Businesses would also need to understand and participate in the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System and compete effectively through its mini-competition process.
