Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for the Woodview Project in Worlingham, serving the Holton area. The requirement was for transport using a four-seat vehicle together with a personal assistant (PA). This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle purchase or construction project, and it falls under CPV 60000000, transport services excluding waste transport. The named buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich, Suffolk. The procurement relates to delivery in and around Suffolk, with Holton and Worlingham identified in the requirement. It was run as a mini-competition within the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Suffolk County Council selected Dan’s Prebooked Cars as supplier on 1 September 2026. The award value is £0 GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The original submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at 09:00, and clarification questions were due by 21 August 2026 at 09:00. The council reserved the right to extend the contract until 31 July 2028. The tender was a mini-competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System, and the tender record is marked complete. The procurement was recorded as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award is evidence of a specific requirement for community or passenger transport linked to an education, care or support setting, involving a small passenger vehicle and an accompanying personal assistant. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this type would be established passenger transport operators able to provide reliable four-seat transport, coordinate scheduled journeys and support passengers appropriately. A local operating base in Suffolk, particularly near the Holton, Worlingham and Lowestoft area, would help with practical delivery and response times. Credibility would also come from experience of working with county councils or similar public bodies, operating within a Dynamic Purchasing System, and demonstrating dependable drivers, suitable safeguarding arrangements and the capacity to provide the PA element alongside transport.
