The requirement sits within the wider supply of passenger transport services and is intended to transport passengers between the Hadleigh area and the school in Colchester. The buyer is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. The service is categorised as transport services, excluding waste transport. The procurement relates to a specific school journey rather than a general fleet, logistics or waste transport requirement, so it is most relevant to operators able to provide small-capacity passenger transport for this route and destination. The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. The award was made on 18 September 2026 to Beaumont Premier Cars Ltd for £103,664. The awarded contract runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 July 2031. The submission deadline was 09:00 on 17 September 2026, with clarification questions due by 09:00 on 15 September 2026. The tender was for a single four-seater passenger transport requirement. It was treated as a services procurement, and the published outcome identifies the successful supplier and the awarded contract value. For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of Suffolk County Council’s demand for dedicated, small-capacity school passenger transport. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to operate a four-seater vehicle, reliably cover the Hadleigh to Colchester journey, and provide consistent transport to Compass Community School. The contract’s multi-year term indicates that suppliers must be able to sustain service delivery over an extended period rather than provide occasional journeys. Relevant businesses are passenger transport operators with practical experience of school routes, dependable day-to-day vehicle and driver availability, and the administrative capability to participate in a mini-competition under the council’s passenger transport purchasing system. ## 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.
