The route requires a six-seat vehicle capable of carrying a manual wheelchair and a passenger assistant. The procurement is for a defined school journey rather than general transport services, with the vehicle and assistance provided together. The buyer is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. The stated route and vehicle requirements indicate that suppliers need to provide accessible passenger transport suitable for school journeys and passenger-assistant support. The procurement is complete and was awarded on 1 October 2026 to All Travel Services Ltd. The awarded contract value is £358,444.12. The contract runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 July 2031. The competition was conducted as a mini-competition under a dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services. The original submission deadline was 1 October 2026, with clarification questions due by 30 September 2026. The stated evaluation basis and any lot structure are not reported in the available process details. This award shows that Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport buys long-term, route-specific school transport combining a wheelchair-capable vehicle with a passenger assistant. A credible competitor for this requirement would need to coordinate both accessible vehicle provision and suitably supported passenger journeys, and reliably operate the Worlingworth–Grants School route. The service was awarded through a mini-competition under a dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers would need to be positioned to participate through that route. The procurement is explicitly unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that the council sought a supplier with the capacity to deliver the requirement at the scale of a multi-year service. All Travel Services Ltd was selected for this contract. ## 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.
