The service requires a vehicle with four passenger seats and a Passenger Assistant, indicating a small-capacity, supported passenger transport operation rather than general haulage. The procurement covers services under CPV 60000000, transport services excluding waste transport. The named buyer is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich, and the service is associated with delivery in Halesworth and Mautby. This requirement is relevant to operators providing passenger vehicles, route-based transport and trained passenger assistance for journeys involving care, education or other supported travel needs. The procurement is complete and was awarded on 18 September 2026 to SPRY Management. It was run as a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services. The awarded contract value is £22,771.50. The contract period runs from 22 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The original submission deadline was 09:00 on 18 September 2026, with clarification questions due by 09:00 on 17 September 2026. The requirement was treated as a services procurement and the award was recorded as active. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one award for the four-seat transport service with a Passenger Assistant. This award demonstrates a defined requirement for small-capacity passenger transport combined with passenger-assistance provision on a route linking Halesworth and Mautby. Suppliers considering similar council work would need access to a suitable four-seat vehicle, reliable scheduling and the operational capacity to deliver a recurring supported journey throughout a school-year-style service period. Passenger transport experience, safeguarding awareness, safe assistance for passengers and dependable communication with the council would be commercially relevant capabilities. The procurement route also shows that Suffolk County Council uses a Dynamic Purchasing System and mini-competitions for this type of service, so operators seeking comparable work should be able to participate through that purchasing arrangement and respond precisely to route, seating and assistance requirements. ## 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.
