The work falls within transport services, under CPV 60000000, and is for school travel in Suffolk. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. The requirement concerns the operation of the specified route rather than the purchase of vehicles or other goods. It is a local transport service delivered for the council’s passenger transport function, with the destination identified as Waldringfield Primary School and the journey originating in Martlesham. The selected provider is based in Woodbridge, Suffolk. This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was run as a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. The submission deadline was 2 September 2026 at 09:00, and the clarification deadline was 28 August 2026 at 09:00. The contract was awarded to M&R (Woodbridge) Ltd on 3 September 2026 for £47,880 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The award is active. The recorded procurement category is services, and the published information identifies the route, school destination and four-seat requirement as the basis for the service being procured. This award is relevant to passenger transport operators able to provide a small-capacity school transport service between Martlesham and Waldringfield Primary School. A credible competitor would need the operational capacity to cover a four-seat requirement, organise reliable journeys for a school passenger service and work to the council’s route-specific requirements. Experience of local passenger transport and the ability to manage regular school travel would be commercially relevant. Suppliers would also need to understand and use the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System mini-competition route, including its electronic clarification and submission process. The awarded provider’s location in Woodbridge indicates that local coverage can support this type of requirement, while the council’s stated SME suitability setting indicates the procurement was not identified as suitable for SMEs. ## 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.
