The requirement was for a four-seater vehicle equipped with a PA system, supporting passenger travel to the college. It falls within transport services, covering the provision and operation of the vehicle and the associated journey. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich, and the delivery location is the Mildenhall-to-West Suffolk College route in Suffolk. This is a focused, route-specific transport service rather than a general fleet, vehicle supply or wider college transport contract. Businesses relevant to this requirement are operators able to provide a small passenger vehicle and deliver the specified journey reliably. The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 13 August 2026 to All Day Cars. The award value is £75,240. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The requirement was run as a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. Tender submissions were due by 09:00 on 6 August 2026, with clarification questions due by 09:00 on 30 July 2026. The tender was marked complete after the award. The recorded award is active, and the contract covers the four-seater passenger service with a PA for the Mildenhall to West Suffolk College route. The procurement was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. For a supplier assessing future work from this buyer, the award demonstrates demand for tightly defined passenger transport routes serving education destinations in Suffolk. A credible competitor would need to operate a suitable four-seater vehicle, provide a working PA system and deliver scheduled journeys consistently between Mildenhall and West Suffolk College. Reliable passenger handling, punctuality, route planning and the ability to maintain service continuity across a multi-year arrangement would be important. Familiarity with the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System and its mini-competition route would also be relevant. The procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that future competitors should be able to demonstrate the organisational capacity, compliance and operational resilience expected by the council for this type of service. ## 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.
