The requirement was for a four-seat vehicle, supporting transport to or from the named education setting. This is a local authority service requirement, classified as transport services (CPV 60000000), with delivery associated with Woolpit, Stanton and Yaxley in Suffolk. The buyer is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. The work is service provision rather than the supply of vehicles or transport infrastructure, so it is relevant to operators able to provide reliable, suitably sized passenger transport for an education-related route. This completed procurement was a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. Submissions were due by 09:00 on 18 September 2026, with clarification questions due by 09:00 on 17 September 2026. The contract was awarded on 21 September 2026 to UNITY TRAVEL Ltd for £20,107.70, including the stated GBP currency. The awarded contract runs from 23 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The procurement concerned one four-seat transport requirement between Woolpit and Stanton and S.P.A.C.E Education in Yaxley. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and an active award; the overall tender is recorded as complete. The award basis is the mini-competition process within the passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. This outcome shows demand for a small, route-specific passenger transport service supporting an education setting in Suffolk. A credible future competitor would need to operate a four-seat vehicle, provide dependable scheduled transport between Woolpit, Stanton and Yaxley, and manage the practical requirements of carrying passengers connected with education provision. Relevant strengths include proven passenger transport operations, appropriate vehicles and drivers, reliable journey planning, safeguarding awareness and the capacity to maintain consistent service throughout the school-related operating period. Suppliers would also need to be eligible to participate in Suffolk County Council’s passenger transport dynamic purchasing system and capable of responding to mini-competitions. Local knowledge of Suffolk routes, contingency arrangements for vehicle or driver disruption, and evidence of dependable performance would strengthen a competing offer when this requirement returns to the market. ## 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.
