Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for a four-seat requirement identified as QIP469, connecting Bury St Edmunds with Buck House in Nacton. The work falls within the transport services category and is intended to provide passenger travel rather than goods, construction or consultancy services. The buying organisation is based in Ipswich and the requirement relates to service delivery in Suffolk, including the named locations of Bury St Edmunds and Nacton. This is a small, vehicle-based passenger transport requirement, potentially relevant to operators with suitable cars, drivers and the ability to provide dependable journeys for a defined passenger group. The procurement was run as a mini-competition under the buyer’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport selected All Day Cars through a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services. The submission deadline was 26 August 2026 at 09:00, with clarification questions due by 25 August 2026 at 09:00. The award was made on 1 September 2026 for GBP 11,020. The contract period runs from 10 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The published process describes a four-seat passenger transport requirement and records the tender as complete and the award as active. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win, this award provides a clear example of Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport’s recurring operational demand: a defined four-seat passenger journey requirement delivered through a passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. A credible future competitor would need to operate an appropriate small passenger vehicle, provide dependable scheduled transport between the relevant Suffolk locations, and manage journeys consistently over an extended service period. Suppliers should also be able to participate in the council’s mini-competition route and respond accurately to its requirements and clarification process. The selected supplier was All Day Cars, a local passenger transport operator, indicating the relevance of established local coverage and practical experience delivering vehicle-based passenger services for the council.
