Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for a scheduled journey from Haverhill to West Suffolk College at Minden House in Bury St Edmunds. The requirement was for an eight-seater vehicle, supporting passenger travel between the two Suffolk locations. The service falls within the transport services category. The buyer is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich, and delivery is centred on the Haverhill–Bury St Edmunds route. The procurement was run as a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services, indicating a requirement for an operator able to provide a suitable vehicle and deliver the specified journey reliably.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 7 August 2026 to All Day Cars for £88,350. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. It was a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The tender had a submission deadline of 9:00am on 7 August 2026, with clarification questions due by 9:00am on 30 July 2026. The requirement was evaluated through that competition process, with the selected supplier being All Day Cars. The award is active and covers the eight-seater transport service between Haverhill and West Suffolk College, Minden House, in Bury St Edmunds.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for dedicated passenger transport on a defined Suffolk education route. A credible competitor would need access to an eight-seater vehicle, the ability to operate reliably between Haverhill and Bury St Edmunds, and the operational capacity to provide a regular service throughout a multi-year contract. Experience in passenger transport, dependable scheduling, driver management, safeguarding-aware delivery and maintaining vehicles to a suitable standard would strengthen a future response. Familiarity with the buyer’s Dynamic Purchasing System and its mini-competition route would also be commercially useful, as would the ability to evidence consistent service quality and resilience for education-related passenger movements.
