Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for travel to Sir Bobby Robson School in Ipswich. The requirement was for a four-seat vehicle and a passenger assistant (PA), for a school transport journey. The buyer was Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. The journey destination is identified as Sir Bobby Robson School, Ipswich; the record also gives the delivery postcode IP1 2BX.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini-competition under a dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services. The award went to Good to go rides ltd. The award date was 15 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 16 October 2026 to 31 July 2029. The awarded contract value is £77,117.20. The original submission deadline was 15 October 2026 at 09:00, with clarification questions due by 14 October 2026 at 09:00. The evaluation criteria are not described in the available procurement details.

This award shows demand from Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport for school transport in Ipswich, specifically a four-seat vehicle accompanied by a passenger assistant. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need to provide a suitable small-capacity vehicle and staff capable of supporting passengers during the journey. The selected supplier, Good to go rides ltd, demonstrates the type of provider that secured this contract. The buyer used a mini-competition through its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system, so familiarity with supplying passenger transport through that route would be relevant. The stated scope is focused on a particular school journey rather than a broad transport network; operators with capacity to cover that journey and deliver assisted school transport are the closest fit.
