The requirement was for a four-seated vehicle, indicating a small-scale, dedicated transport service rather than general fleet provision. The work falls within transport services, covering the movement of passengers and associated journey operations (CPV 60000000). The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich, Suffolk. Delivery is linked specifically to Hadleigh and Ipswich, with the procurement title identifying the education destination as Reboot Education. This is a service requirement for a vehicle and driver capable of providing the specified education transport, rather than a vehicle purchase, construction project or wider passenger transport network contract. The procurement is complete and was run as a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. The submission deadline was 7 September 2026 at 09:00, with clarification questions due by 4 September 2026 at 09:00. The contract was awarded on 9 September 2026 to Beaumont Cars (Suffolk) Ltd for £10,488. The contract period runs from 10 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award is active and covers the complete requirement. The process was evaluated through the mini-competition route; the published information does not set out separate quality, price or other scoring criteria. The procurement was identified as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. For a supplier that did not win this award, the requirement demonstrates established demand from Suffolk County Council for contracted education passenger transport using a small vehicle. A credible competitor for this buyer would need to operate a reliable four-seated vehicle, provide consistent journeys between Hadleigh and Ipswich, and support the practical needs of transporting learners to Reboot Education. Local operating knowledge, dependable daily availability, safe passenger handling and the ability to meet tightly timed education journeys would be important commercial capabilities. Experience of public-sector passenger transport mini-competitions and working within a dynamic purchasing system would help a supplier respond effectively to similar requirements. The successful supplier’s profile also indicates the relevance of established Suffolk-based transport provision. ## 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.
