The requirement was for an eight-seat vehicle and covers transport activity associated with the route, with the delivery location recorded at Russell Road, Ipswich, Suffolk. This is a local school transport service rather than general haulage, freight or waste transport. The procurement falls within the transport services category (CPV 60000000) and was run by Suffolk County Council as the purchasing organisation. It is relevant to operators providing scheduled education transport, particularly those able to provide an eight-seat vehicle and operate reliably between the named communities and Stowupland High School. The procurement is complete and was awarded through a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. Submissions were due by 8 September 2026 at 09:00, with clarification questions due by 4 September 2026 at 09:00. The contract was awarded to 24x7 Ltd on 8 September 2026 for £112,753.60 excluding any stated adjustments, with a contract period from 10 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. Suffolk County Council reserved the right to extend the contract until 31 July 2030. The tender was for services and was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. For a supplier assessing future school transport work with Suffolk County Council, this award shows demand for a dedicated eight-seat passenger service on the Brettenham–Stowupland High School route, procured through the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. A credible competitor would need dependable day-to-day operational capacity, an appropriate eight-seat vehicle, robust route planning and the ability to provide consistent journeys for school pupils. Reliability, safeguarding-conscious operating practices, punctuality and resilience to vehicle or staffing problems would be central to maintaining the service. Suppliers should also be equipped to participate in mini-competitions under the council’s passenger transport purchasing route and demonstrate that they can sustain a regular education transport operation over several school years. ## 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.
