## Summary

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for a dedicated school journey from Nayland, Wissington and Stoke by Nayland to Hillside Special School in Sudbury. The requirement was for a six-seater vehicle suitable for a manual wheelchair, together with a passenger assistant. This is a specialist accessible school transport service rather than general passenger transport. The procurement covers service delivery in and around the named Suffolk communities and Sudbury, with the buyer based in Ipswich. The service falls within the broad transport services category. The requirement was run by Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport through its passenger transport purchasing arrangements, for a route serving pupils travelling to a special school.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport ran a mini-competition under its Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. Submissions were due by 9am on 10 August 2026, with clarification questions due by 9am on 3 August 2026. Nice Travel Solutions Limited was awarded the contract on 10 August 2026 for £129,732. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The published procurement information records the requirement as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, and the contract is for transport services.

This award shows a sustained requirement from Suffolk County Council for accessible, individualised school transport serving pupils with mobility needs. A credible future competitor would need to provide a six-seat vehicle configured for manual wheelchair access and supply a suitable passenger assistant alongside the driver. The route demonstrates the need to plan reliable journeys linking smaller Suffolk communities with a special school in Sudbury, rather than relying only on standard bus or taxi capacity. Operators with accessible vehicle resources, dependable staffing, safeguarding-aware processes and the ability to manage recurring school journeys would be best placed to compete when this type of requirement returns. The purchasing route also indicates that suppliers need to understand and participate in the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System.
