The requirement was for a four-seated wheelchair-accessible vehicle, indicating scheduled transport for passengers who require accessible travel. The work is associated with Ipswich and Felixstowe, with the buyer based in Ipswich, Suffolk. The procurement falls within the transport services category (CPV 60000000). It was commissioned by Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport for delivery in the local area and involved the provision of a vehicle and transport operation rather than the supply of general goods or construction work. The procurement has been awarded and is complete. It was run as a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. Call A Cab Ipswich was selected for an awarded value of £161,500. The award date was 4 September 2026. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2031. The original submission deadline was 1 September 2026 at 09:00, with clarification questions due by 28 August 2026 at 09:00. The requirement was assessed through the council’s mini-competition process, with the award relating to the specified accessible transport service for WS Training. This award shows that Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport buys locally delivered, accessible passenger transport through its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experience operating passenger services in the Ipswich and Felixstowe area, together with a suitable four-seated wheelchair-accessible vehicle and the ability to provide reliable journeys for passengers attending WS Training. The winning supplier was a local Ipswich transport business, so local operational coverage and responsive day-to-day service are relevant indicators of competitiveness. Suppliers should also be able to work within a council mini-competition route and demonstrate the practical capacity to sustain a dedicated accessible vehicle service over a multi-year arrangement. ## 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.
