The requirement was for a four-seater vehicle and a passenger assistant, supporting transport for a school passenger between the two Suffolk locations. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. The work falls within the broad transport services category. The requirement was run as a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services. It relates to a specific scheduled journey rather than a general vehicle supply requirement, so relevant suppliers are those able to provide a suitable small vehicle together with passenger-assistance support for school transport operations. This procurement is complete and has been awarded. The award was made on 24 August 2026 to 24x7 Ltd for £225,492 including the stated currency of GBP. The awarded contract runs from 3 September 2026 to 24 August 2029, with the council reserving the right to extend it until 31 July 2031. The original submission deadline was 09:00 on 24 August 2026, and clarification questions were due by 09:00 on 20 August 2026. The process was a mini-competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System. The tender was classified as a services procurement for transport services and was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. No lots or separate awards were identified. The award demonstrates a defined requirement from Suffolk County Council for contracted school passenger transport using a small-capacity vehicle and a passenger assistant. Suppliers preparing for a future requirement from this buyer would need to show they can reliably provide a four-seater vehicle, support passenger-assistance duties and operate a scheduled journey between Haverhill and Bury St Edmunds. Credibility would also depend on dependable day-to-day transport operations, suitable staff and the capacity to meet school-related service expectations. The procurement route is the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services, so businesses seeking comparable work would need to understand and operate through that route. The buyer’s assessment marked this requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating a larger established transport provider was the intended profile. ## 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.
