The requirement is for a vehicle with eight passenger seats and a passenger assistant, supporting transport to the school. The work falls within general transport services (CPV 60000000) and is classified as a service requirement. Delivery is associated with Leiston, Warren Lodge and Warren School in Beccles, Suffolk. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. This is a focused school transport service rather than a general fleet, haulage or vehicle supply requirement, and is relevant to operators able to provide an eight-seat passenger vehicle together with an accompanying passenger assistant for the specified journey. The procurement is complete and was awarded on 10 August 2026 following a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services. Goldline Ltd was selected for a contract valued at £209,323. The contract runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 August 2031, with the council reserving the right to extend it until 31 July 2033. The tender submission deadline was 9am on 10 August 2026, and clarification questions were due by 9am on 6 August 2026. The award is active and the tender is complete. The opportunity was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. The procurement category is services. For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates sustained demand from Suffolk County Council for dedicated school passenger transport on a defined local route. A credible competitor would need an eight-seat passenger vehicle suitable for regular school journeys, a reliable passenger assistant, and the operational capacity to provide consistent service throughout the contract term. Local presence in or around Suffolk may support practical delivery, particularly around Leiston, Beccles and the school destination. Experience of passenger transport services and the ability to operate through a Dynamic Purchasing System mini-competition would also be relevant. The buyer’s classification indicates that the requirement is not intended for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations, pointing to a supplier with established transport resources and dependable staffing arrangements. ## 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.
