The requirement was for a four-seater vehicle, serving the stated route and school transport need. The work falls within transport services, excluding waste transport, under CPV 60000000. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Russell Road, Ipswich. The procurement concerns service delivery in and around Hadleigh and Ipswich, with the destination at Rushmere Hall Primary School. It is relevant to operators providing reliable, appropriately sized passenger vehicles and regular school transport services for a public-sector buyer. The procurement has been completed and the tender status is complete. It was run as a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. The award was made to Cabs 4 U on 10 September 2026 for £111,765.60 including the stated currency, GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2033. The original tender deadline was 09:00 on 10 September 2026, and clarification questions closed at 09:00 on 9 September 2026. The requirement was for one four-seater school transport service from Hadleigh to Rushmere Hall Primary School, Ipswich. The award is recorded as active and the overall procurement as complete. This award demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for a dedicated, small-capacity school transport service on a defined Suffolk route. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need access to a suitable four-seater vehicle, dependable daily operating capacity and the ability to provide consistent, safe passenger transport for a primary school journey. Local knowledge of Hadleigh, Ipswich and the route to Rushmere Hall Primary School would support practical delivery, while robust scheduling and continuity arrangements would be important over a long-running service. Suppliers should also be able to compete through a Dynamic Purchasing System mini-competition, understand public-sector tendering requirements and evidence that they can maintain reliable service standards for the duration of 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.
