## Summary

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport commissioned a passenger transport service for travel from Stoke-by-Nayland and Hadleigh to Apex Education in Ipswich. The requirement calls for a four-seated vehicle. The delivery destination is in Ipswich, Suffolk. This is a specific education transport journey rather than a general transport service.

The procurement has been awarded following a mini-competition under a dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services. Royal Rides was selected, with an award value of £13,274.16. The award date was 2 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. Submissions were due by 09:00 on 1 October 2026, and clarification questions by 09:00 on 30 September 2026.

The award shows Suffolk County Council’s demand for a defined education transport journey between Stoke-by-Nayland and Hadleigh and Apex Education in Ipswich, using a four-seated vehicle. For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need to provide a suitably sized vehicle and reliably deliver passenger transport on this route. The contract was awarded through the council’s passenger transport dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need to be positioned to compete through that route.
