The requirement called for a vehicle with four passenger seats, indicating a small-capacity, dedicated transport service rather than general vehicle hire. The work falls within transport services, covering the movement of passengers for the school route. Delivery locations associated with the procurement include Newmarket, Wetheringsett-Cum-Brockford and the wider United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, operating from Ipswich. This requirement is relevant to passenger transport operators able to provide a suitable four-seat vehicle and deliver a reliable school transport service on the specified route. The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under the Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. Skyline247 Limited was selected as the supplier. The award date was 21 August 2026, at a value of £127,300. The awarded contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2031. The original submission deadline was 9am on 21 August 2026, with clarification questions due by 9am on 20 August 2026. The tender was classified as a services procurement and used the dynamic purchasing system route. The opportunity was recorded as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The contract covers the specified four-seat school transport requirement. This award demonstrates a sustained requirement from Suffolk County Council for dedicated, small-capacity school passenger transport on a defined local route. A credible future supplier would need an appropriate four-seat vehicle, the operational capacity to provide dependable school journeys, and the ability to maintain consistent service over a lengthy contract. Relevant experience in school or assisted passenger transport would help demonstrate understanding of safeguarding, punctuality, passenger care and route reliability. Providers should also be able to manage daily operations, vehicle availability, contingency arrangements and communication with the council. The buyer’s use of a Dynamic Purchasing System mini-competition indicates that suppliers seeking similar work should be ready to operate through that procurement route and respond to specific route-based requirements. The stated suitability assessment points towards established operators rather than smaller or voluntary-sector organisations. ## 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.
