The requirement was for a four-seated vehicle, indicating a small-capacity transport service rather than a general fleet, coach or large passenger operation. The service falls within transport services, excluding waste transport, and is categorised as a service. Delivery is associated with Ipswich, Suffolk, including the stated postcode area IP1 2BX, and East Bergholt is named in the requirement. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, which uses this type of arrangement to support transport to an organised activity. Businesses with relevant local passenger transport capability should treat this as a small, specific journey requirement. This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport ran a mini-competition under its Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. The contract was awarded to Andrew Fisk on 22 September 2026 for £4,260.86. The contract period runs from 24 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender required submissions by 09:00 on 21 September 2026, with clarification questions due by 09:00 on 18 September 2026. The award is recorded as active. The requirement concerned one four-seat vehicle service for the East Bergholt to Ipswich Creative Computing Club journey. The buyer recorded the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. For a supplier that did not win, this award provides a clear example of Suffolk County Council’s demand for small-capacity passenger transport linked to organised activities. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to provide a four-seat vehicle and operate reliably between East Bergholt and Ipswich, with the practical capacity to support a defined journey over a sustained service period. The route, activity-specific purpose and modest vehicle requirement point towards operators able to deliver focused local transport rather than large-scale fleet provision. The procurement route also shows that the buyer uses a Dynamic Purchasing System and mini-competitions for passenger transport, so suppliers seeking similar council work would need to be capable of competing through that route. ## 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.
