The requirement is a specific school transport route, rather than general passenger transport provision. The named buyer is based in Ipswich, Suffolk; the service is delivered between Haverhill and Brook View School in Wethersfield. The procurement was run as a mini-competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. This requirement concerns transport services (CPV 60000000), with the vehicle capacity and route identified in the tender title. It is a service contract for a defined journey, serving Brook View School. The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Dash Travel UK Ltd. The award date was 7 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 9 October 2026 to 31 July 2030. The awarded value is £54,150. It was a mini-competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The submission deadline was 7 October 2026 at 09:00, and clarification questions were due by 6 October 2026 at 09:00. The requirement was for a single four-seater route; no separate lots are identified. The award record names Dash Travel UK Ltd as the selected supplier. The published procurement information does not set out the evaluation criteria or bidder eligibility requirements, so the basis on which bids were compared cannot be summarised further. This award shows that Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport buys dedicated, small-capacity school transport on a defined route, using a mini-competition within its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. Suppliers considering comparable requirements from this buyer would need to provide a four-seat vehicle and reliably operate the Haverhill–Wethersfield journey to Brook View School. Credibility would rest on the practical ability to deliver this particular school transport service, including dependable journey provision and capacity suited to a small passenger group. Dash Travel UK Ltd was selected for this contract, demonstrating that a supplier able to meet this route-specific requirement competed successfully. The opportunity is most relevant to passenger transport operators equipped for small-vehicle school journeys in this area, rather than providers focused on larger fleets or unrelated transport services. ## 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.
