The requirement is for a four-seat journey, making this a small, route-specific school transport service rather than a broad transport contract. Suffolk County Council is the buying organisation; the stated route identifies Knettishall and Ixworth High School as the places served. The procurement formed part of the council’s wider passenger transport services purchasing system, through which it ran a competition for this individual route. The requirement is relevant to operators able to provide dependable local passenger transport for school journeys and to work to a defined route and vehicle capacity. The procurement is complete and was awarded to BRAVO TRAVEL BSE LTD. The award date was 2 October 2026, and the contract runs from 6 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The awarded value is £13,697.10. This was a mini-competition under a dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services, for a single four-seat route from Knettishall to Ixworth High School. Submissions were due by 09:00 on 2 October 2026, with clarification questions due by 09:00 on 1 October 2026. No evaluation criteria or award basis are stated in the procurement details. The award demonstrates Suffolk County Council’s demand for small-capacity, route-specific school transport between Knettishall and Ixworth High School, bought through competition under its passenger transport purchasing system. The selected supplier was a travel company, indicating that an operator able to deliver passenger transport on a defined local school route was suitable for this requirement. Businesses considering similar work for this buyer would need to be credible in arranging dependable transport for a four-seat service and meeting the route and school journey requirement. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller suppliers in those categories may find the buyer’s stated suitability assessment a constraint. The contract period shows the scale and duration of this particular service. ## 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.
