The requirement covered a vehicle with four passenger seats and a female personal assistant (PA), indicating a dedicated education transport service rather than general bus or taxi provision. Delivery is associated with Ipswich, including the council’s Passenger Transport base on Russell Road, and Felixstowe. The main category is services, specifically transport services (CPV 60000000). The requirement was arranged by Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport for the council’s passenger transport needs. It is relevant to operators able to provide both the vehicle and the specified passenger-assistance support for education journeys between these locations. This procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services. The submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at 09:00, with clarification questions due by 21 August 2026 at 09:00. The contract was awarded on 25 August 2026 to Fotik Miah trading as A2Z Transport for £14,820 including the stated currency of GBP. The awarded contract runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with the council reserving the right to extend it until 31 July 2028. The procurement was evaluated through the mini-competition process; the published data does not set out separate award criteria. The opportunity was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. For a future requirement of this kind, a credible supplier would need to operate passenger transport vehicles suitable for education journeys and provide four passenger seats alongside a female personal assistant. The service calls for reliable, scheduled transport between Ipswich and Felixstowe, so operators need practical local coverage, dependable vehicle availability and the capacity to support the journey throughout the service period. Experience of passenger transport for education settings would help demonstrate an understanding of punctuality, consistent staffing and passenger support. Suppliers should also be prepared to compete through Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport’s Dynamic Purchasing System and to respond to a focused mini-competition rather than a broad, standalone tender. ## 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.
