Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for an individual journey from Ipswich to Aurora Eccles School in Quidenham, Norfolk. The requirement was for a four-seated vehicle and a personal assistant, supporting transport to the school. The service falls within transport services, excluding waste transport, and is classified under CPV 60000000. Delivery is associated with Ipswich and Quidenham, Norfolk, with the buyer based in Ipswich. The requirement was run as a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. It is a service contract focused on transporting an individual passenger to an education setting, with an accompanying PA required as part of the provision.

This procurement has been awarded and the process is complete. Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport selected Zanyar Ali Taxis. The award was made on 11 September 2026 for £82,688.76, inclusive of the stated GBP currency. The awarded contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The earlier submission deadline was 9 September 2026 at 09:00, and clarification questions were due by 8 September 2026 at 09:00. The requirement was competed through a mini-competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The published information identifies a single awarded supplier and does not set out separate lots or an evaluation weighting.

This award is relevant to passenger transport operators, taxi businesses and specialist school transport providers able to deliver individual journeys using a four-seated vehicle and provide a personal assistant. A credible competitor would need to coordinate reliable school transport from Ipswich to Quidenham, support an individual passenger appropriately and maintain consistent service over a sustained education-period requirement. The award demonstrates demand from Suffolk County Council for dedicated, rather than general group, passenger transport linked to a school placement. Suppliers seeking comparable work should be able to operate within the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System mini-competition route and show they can combine vehicle provision, dependable scheduling and passenger-support staffing in one service.
