The requirement is for a four-seater vehicle, indicating a small-capacity service for transporting passengers on this specified route. The work falls within the broad transport services category and is part of the council’s passenger transport provision. The recorded delivery address is in Ipswich, Suffolk, while the journey itself connects locations in Suffolk with the education establishment at Fordham. Businesses with experience providing reliable, scheduled passenger transport using small vehicles are the closest match to this requirement. The procurement is complete and was run as a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. Submissions were due by 09:00 on 21 August 2026, with clarification questions due by 09:00 on 17 August 2026. Suffolk County Council awarded the contract to Skyline247 Limited on 21 August 2026 for £123,500 excluding any separately stated adjustments. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, with the council reserving the right to extend it until 31 July 2031. The procurement record marks the opportunity as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need to provide dependable passenger transport between named communities and an education setting, using a suitable four-seater vehicle. Operational strengths would include accurate route planning, punctual collections and drop-offs, safe passenger handling, vehicle availability and the resilience to maintain the service throughout the contract period. Experience of council-funded or education-related passenger transport would help demonstrate that the business can meet safeguarding, reliability and service-continuity expectations, although those specific requirements are not detailed here. The award shows demand for a defined, small-vehicle route procured through a dynamic purchasing system, and indicates that suppliers should be prepared to participate in similar mini-competitions and demonstrate sufficient organisational capacity for a multi-year 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.
