The requirement falls within transport services and is intended to provide scheduled school transport in Suffolk. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. The service covers the Ixworth and Coney Weston route, with the procurement record also giving Suffolk and the United Kingdom as associated locations. This is a service contract rather than a purchase of vehicles or other goods, and the central operating need is the reliable daily movement of pupils between the school and destination during the afternoon period. The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. Submissions were due by 19 August 2026 at 09:00, with clarification questions due by 14 August 2026 at 09:00. Turners of Gt Barton Ltd received the active award on 19 August 2026 for £30,400. The awarded contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 23 July 2027. The tender was evaluated as a services requirement for transport, with the competition conducted through the existing purchasing system. The record identifies the route, afternoon-only operating requirement and 22-seat capacity as the defining scope of the awarded service. This award demonstrates a recurring requirement from Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport for dedicated school-route services delivered through its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. Suppliers likely to be credible for a future requirement of this type would need to operate passenger transport services in Suffolk, provide a vehicle with capacity for 22 seats, and reliably cover a scheduled afternoon journey between a named school and rural destination. Relevant strengths would include dependable school transport operations, suitable vehicles and drivers, route planning, safeguarding arrangements and the operational capacity to deliver the service throughout the school year. Experience of council or education transport work and readiness to compete through a Dynamic Purchasing System would also support a strong position when this buyer next tests the requirement. ## 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.
