Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for a journey identified as QLT250: travel from Bungay to East Coast College’s Lowestoft Campus. The requirement is for a vehicle with four passenger seats and a passenger assistant (PA). It is a specific transport service rather than a general vehicle supply, with the work serving the route to the college campus. The procurement was run by the council’s passenger transport service, and the selected supplier, Dan’s Prebooked Cars, is based in Lowestoft.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Dan’s Prebooked Cars on 2 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £22,341.72. The contract period runs from 6 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The council ran a mini-competition under its Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The original submission deadline was 2 October 2026, and clarification questions were due by 1 October 2026. The requirement is presented as a single journey service, with four seats and a passenger assistant. The published procurement data does not set out evaluation criteria or detailed supplier eligibility conditions.

This award shows demand from Suffolk County Council for a dedicated passenger transport service between Bungay and East Coast College’s Lowestoft Campus, including four passenger seats and an assistant. A future competitor would need to provide suitably sized transport and dependable journey delivery, with a passenger assistant able to accompany the service. Local familiarity with the Bungay–Lowestoft route and the ability to organise a small, specific transport requirement would be relevant capabilities. The council used a mini-competition under its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need to be positioned to compete through that route. The award value indicates a modest, defined service requirement rather than a large transport operation.
