Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for a school journey between Mildenhall and Higham and Landmark International School in Fulbourn, Cambridgeshire. The requirement was for a four-seater vehicle and forms part of the council’s transport provision for passengers travelling to school. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich, Suffolk. The service category is passenger transport, covering the operation of a small vehicle for the specified route. The contracted supplier is Cambridge and Huntingdon Airport Travel Service, based in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under the Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. The submission deadline was 11 August 2026 at 09:00, with clarification questions due by 5 August 2026 at 09:00. The contract was awarded to Cambridge and Huntingdon Airport Travel Service on 13 August 2026 for £132,050. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, with the council reserving the right to extend it until 31 July 2031. The procurement was for services and was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need to provide dependable passenger transport for a school route, operate an appropriate four-seater vehicle and manage regular journeys between Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. Experience in education-related or otherwise time-critical passenger transport would help demonstrate reliability, safeguarding awareness and the ability to maintain consistent service. Suppliers would also need the operational capacity to cover the route throughout the school contract period, respond to the council’s service requirements and compete through its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. The procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that the buyer may favour operators with established capacity and formal procurement capability.
