The requirement was for a four-seater vehicle and a passenger assistant to support school transport. The service falls within transport services, excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000), and is classified as a service contract. Delivery is associated with the United Kingdom, including the school location in Wetheringsett-Cum-Brockford. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. This is a focused education transport requirement rather than a general vehicle supply opportunity: relevant businesses are those able to provide a suitable small passenger vehicle together with an appropriately capable passenger assistant for the school journey service. The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. SPRY Management was selected on 16 September 2026 for an awarded value of £187,501.50. The awarded contract runs from 17 September 2026 to 31 July 2030. The original submission deadline was 15 September 2026 at 09:00, with clarification questions due by 14 September 2026 at 09:00. The requirement was evaluated through the council’s mini-competition process under the passenger transport DPS. The tender was marked complete, and the award is active. This outcome records a single supplier and a single awarded value; it does not represent an available contract for further submissions. For a supplier assessing future demand from this buyer, the award demonstrates a substantial, multi-year requirement for dedicated school passenger transport using a small four-seater vehicle and a passenger assistant. A credible competitor would need to combine reliable vehicle provision with safe, consistent passenger support for an education setting, and be able to manage service delivery over a sustained contract term. The requirement suits an established passenger transport operator with the operational capacity to provide both vehicle and staffing resources, maintain dependable school journeys and meet the council’s service expectations. Because the route was competed through a passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, relevant businesses should be prepared to operate through that procurement route and respond to similar council mini-competitions rather than relying only on ad hoc transport bookings. ## Notice Suffolk County Council is seeking a mini competition against the following Dynamic Purchasing System: 'The supply of Passenger Transport Services', OJEU Notice Id: 2018/S 031-067685.
