Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport commissioned a passenger transport service for a school journey from Felixstowe to Bramfield House School in Bramfield, Suffolk. The requirement is for transport with four passenger seats and a passenger assistant, supporting travel to and from the school. The council is the buying organisation and the service is categorised as transport services. The recorded delivery address is in Ipswich, while the named journey connects Felixstowe with Bramfield. This is a dedicated education transport requirement rather than a general passenger transport service: suppliers need to provide a suitable vehicle and passenger assistant for a school route. The arrangement was procured by Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport through its passenger transport purchasing arrangements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services. Submissions were due by 09:00 on 20 July 2026, with clarification questions due by 09:00 on 17 July 2026. The contract was awarded to All Travel Services LTD on 21 July 2026 for £170,430 (GBP). The awarded contract period runs from 21 July 2026 to 31 August 2031. The procurement documents allowed the council to extend the contract up to 31 July 2034. The award is active. The requirement is recorded as a services procurement and the contract covers one route: Felixstowe to Bramfield House School, Bramfield, using a four-seat vehicle with a passenger assistant.

This award demonstrates an established requirement for a dedicated school passenger transport operation serving Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport. A credible future competitor would need experience delivering regular education transport, a suitable vehicle with four passenger seats, and a reliable passenger assistant able to support the journey. Operational strength would include dependable route planning between Felixstowe and Bramfield, punctual daily delivery, safe passenger handling and continuity of service throughout the school term. Suppliers should also be able to participate in a mini-competition through the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services, and meet its submission and clarification procedures. The recorded procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that competing organisations should be prepared to demonstrate the capacity and operational resilience expected by the council.
