The requirement is to transport passengers between Brandon and the two named education destinations. The buyer is based in Ipswich, and the route serves locations in Suffolk. This is a transport services requirement rather than a purchase of vehicles or infrastructure. The procurement was run as a competition within the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, indicating a specific service requirement under an established purchasing arrangement. The procurement is complete and was awarded on 20 October 2026 to Michelle Mansell. The award value was £10,971.04. The contract period runs from 22 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. This was a mini-competition under the passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The original submission deadline was 20 October 2026, with clarification questions due by 19 October 2026. The process was for a single route and no separate lots are recorded. The published information does not set out evaluation criteria, so the basis on which bids were compared cannot be established from these details. The buyer indicated that the opportunity was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. For suppliers targeting Suffolk County Council’s passenger transport work, this award demonstrates demand for a small, route-specific service connecting Brandon with education provision in Bury St Edmunds. A credible competitor would need to be able to deliver the required passenger journeys reliably across the route and meet the practical demands of serving the named education destinations. The council used its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System and a mini-competition, so familiarity with that route to market is commercially relevant. The buyer marked this requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; that signals that suppliers should assess whether their scale and capacity match the council’s expectations before pursuing similar work. The selection of an individual supplier shows the contract was awarded to a named operator, rather than a multi-supplier lot. ## 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.
