Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured a passenger transport service for a four-seat journey from Eyke to Thomas Mills High School. The requirement sits within the council’s wider passenger transport services programme and is focused on carrying passengers along this school route. Delivery is between Eyke and Thomas Mills High School in Suffolk. The council is the buyer, and the service is classified as transport rather than goods or works. The contract was awarded to M&R (Woodbridge) Ltd.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to M&R (Woodbridge) Ltd on 25 September 2026. The award value is £13,725.60. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The requirement was run as a mini-competition under a dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services. The original competition deadline was 24 September 2026 at 09:00, with clarification questions due by 23 September 2026 at 09:00. The stated requirement is one four-seat journey from Eyke to Thomas Mills High School. The buyer marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No award evaluation criteria are recorded in the available process information.

For passenger transport operators, this award demonstrates a specific council requirement for a small-capacity school journey between Eyke and Thomas Mills High School. A credible supplier for a comparable future requirement would need to organise and deliver reliable passenger transport on this route, with capacity appropriate to a four-seat service and the ability to meet the school travel schedule. The council used a mini-competition through its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system, so experience operating within a competitive purchasing arrangement of this kind would be relevant. The chosen supplier, M&R (Woodbridge) Ltd, is based in Suffolk, giving a local operator a clear geographic fit for the route. The work is a defined route service rather than a broad transport programme.
