Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured a passenger transport service for the school journey from Wangford to Bramfield House School in Bramfield. The requirement was for a vehicle providing four passenger seats and a passenger assistant. This is a local, school-related transport service, rather than a general transport contract. The route and destination are identified by the procurement title; the service is for the stated journey, with the passenger assistant included in the requirement. The buyer is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. The procurement was run as a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services.

The procurement has been awarded. Dan’s Prebooked Cars was selected, with an award value of £126,920. The award date was 20 August 2026. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2030. The requirement was described as a mini-competition under a dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services; the tender submission deadline was 18 August 2026. This was a single school transport requirement, covering four seats and a passenger assistant. The tender was classified as a services procurement. The published details do not set out an evaluation formula or specific eligibility tests, so the award basis and participation requirements cannot be described further.

For suppliers competing for a future repeat of this requirement, the award demonstrates demand from Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport for a dedicated school journey between Wangford and Bramfield House School. A credible operator would need to provide suitable passenger transport with capacity for four passengers and a passenger assistant, and be able to deliver the route reliably throughout the school contract period. The selected supplier was Dan’s Prebooked Cars, showing that a local prebooked-car operator was able to meet the requirement. The work is a focused, small-capacity transport service rather than a large fleet operation. Suppliers should be prepared to compete through the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The procurement details identify no specific accreditations, vehicle specification or experience thresholds.
