Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for a primary-school journey between Claydon and Helmingham, in Suffolk. The requirement was for a four-seated vehicle to transport passengers associated with Helmingham primary school. The service falls within the broader category of passenger transport, including transport by road and related transport operations. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. Delivery is associated with the Claydon–Helmingham route and Helmingham primary school, with the wider operating context in Suffolk and the United Kingdom. This is a service requirement rather than a goods supply or construction project, focused on providing a small-capacity vehicle for school travel.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. The award was made to Cam Cab Ltd on 13 August 2026 for £28,120 (GBP). The awarded contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The original submission deadline was 17 July 2026 at 13:00, with clarification questions due by 09:00 on 16 July 2026. The procurement was for services, with the tender marked complete. The requirement was assessed through the Dynamic Purchasing System route; the available information does not state separate quality, price or other evaluation weightings.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the process indicates demand from Suffolk County Council for small-scale, school-focused passenger transport delivered through a Dynamic Purchasing System. A credible future competitor would need to operate passenger transport services safely and reliably, provide a suitable four-seat vehicle, and cover the Claydon–Helmingham school journey in Suffolk. Operational capacity should match a regular school timetable and the needs of passengers travelling to and from a primary school. Businesses should also be prepared to participate in mini-competitions under a passenger transport purchasing system and demonstrate that their vehicles, drivers and operating arrangements can meet the council’s requirements for dedicated school transport.
