The requirement was for a vehicle with four passenger seats and a passenger assistant (PA). Delivery is connected with the Ipswich area and Kersey, with the buying organisation based in Suffolk. The service falls within transport services, excluding waste transport, and is categorised as a service rather than goods or works. The named buyer is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport. This is a small, specific transport operation rather than a general vehicle supply contract: the relevant supplier would provide the vehicle, passenger transport capability and PA support needed for the education provision. The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services. Submissions were due by 09:00 on 21 August 2026, with clarification questions due by 09:00 on 20 August 2026. Good to go rides ltd was awarded the contract on 24 August 2026 for £31,350. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award is active. The recorded tender suitability indicates that the opportunity was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The requirement was treated as a single transport service rather than being divided into separately described lots. For a supplier considering comparable work for Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, this award demonstrates demand for individually specified education transport using a four-seated vehicle and a passenger assistant. A credible competitor would need to organise reliable passenger transport, provide a suitably sized vehicle, and supply PA support for journeys involving education provision between the relevant Suffolk locations. The work is suited to an operator able to manage a small, dedicated service rather than a high-volume fleet operation. Good to go rides ltd, the appointed supplier, is based in Suffolk, so local operating knowledge and the ability to provide dependable coverage in the area may be commercially relevant when this buyer brings a similar requirement back to market. The procurement route also shows that suppliers on the passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System can compete for such 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.
