Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for a scheduled journey from Dennington to Thomas Wolsey Ormiston Academy in Ipswich. The requirement was for a four-seater vehicle, supporting the transport of passengers to the academy. The service falls within the broad category of transport services, excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000). Delivery is centred on the Dennington–Ipswich route, with the destination at Thomas Wolsey Ormiston Academy. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. This is a service requirement for a small-capacity passenger vehicle and driver rather than a vehicle purchase, construction project or general transport framework. The procurement formed part of the council’s wider passenger transport arrangements.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. The contract was awarded to Zanyar Ali Taxis on 17 September 2026 for £98,386.56, inclusive of the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 July 2031. The tender submission deadline was 09:00 on 17 September 2026, and clarification questions had to be submitted by 09:00 on 15 September 2026. The recorded procurement category is services. The published information identifies the selected supplier and award value, but does not state an evaluation weighting or a separate award criterion. The tender was marked complete at award stage.

This requirement is most relevant to passenger transport operators, taxi businesses and other small-capacity vehicle providers able to deliver a dependable school transport service on the Dennington–Ipswich route. A credible competitor would need access to a suitable four-seater vehicle, a suitably authorised and reliable driver, and the operational capacity to provide repeated journeys to Thomas Wolsey Ormiston Academy throughout the contract period. Experience in scheduled education or assisted passenger transport would help demonstrate understanding of punctuality, safeguarding, passenger welfare and communication with the council. The award shows that Suffolk County Council uses a Dynamic Purchasing System mini-competition to source defined passenger transport routes, so suppliers seeking comparable future work should be able to respond to route-specific requirements and provide consistent service over a long-term arrangement.
