Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for a scheduled journey from Lakenheath, Mildenhall and Bury St Edmunds to West Suffolk College, Minden House, in Bury St Edmunds. The requirement was for a six-seater vehicle with a passenger assistant (PA), supporting transport to the college. The work falls within passenger transport services (CPV 60000000) and is classified as a service procurement. The named buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, part of Suffolk County Council. The delivery area is Suffolk, covering the stated collection locations and the destination at West Suffolk College in Bury St Edmunds.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. The tender submission deadline was 6 August 2026 at 09:00, and the award was made on 6 August 2026. All Day Cars was awarded the contract for £112,860. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The published outcome identifies the successful supplier and the service requirement; the procurement record does not set out an award scoring breakdown or separate lot awards. The contract was awarded as an active award rather than cancelled or terminated.

This award provides a clear benchmark for operators supplying local, scheduled passenger transport with accessible service support through a passenger assistant. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a suitable six-seater vehicle, the staffing capacity to provide a PA, and dependable capability to collect passengers across Lakenheath, Mildenhall and Bury St Edmunds before serving West Suffolk College in Bury St Edmunds. Local knowledge, reliable route planning, punctual daily operations and continuity over a multi-year service period would be important. The use of a Dynamic Purchasing System mini-competition also shows that suppliers in this market need to understand and participate through that purchasing route, rather than relying only on open standalone tenders.
