The requirement covers a vehicle with four passenger seats and one passenger assistant, supporting transport to the school. The named buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. This is a local education transport operation rather than general freight, vehicle supply or infrastructure work. Businesses relevant to this requirement are passenger transport operators able to provide a suitable vehicle and passenger assistant for the specified school route and service. The procurement falls within the broad transport services category. This procurement has been awarded following a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services. The tender closed on 18 August 2026 at 09:00, with clarification questions due by 17 August 2026 at 09:00. Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport awarded the contract to Dan's Prebooked Cars on 20 August 2026. The published award value is £0. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2030. The requirement was evaluated through the DPS mini-competition route; the available procurement record does not state separate award criteria or weightings. The tender is recorded as complete. This award demonstrates a sustained requirement from Suffolk County Council for dedicated school passenger transport on a defined local route, with an accompanying passenger assistant and capacity for four pupils or passengers. A credible future supplier would need reliable day-to-day vehicle availability, the ability to provide a passenger assistant, and dependable scheduling between Wangford and Bramfield House School. Familiarity with school transport operations, safeguarding expectations, passenger assistance and consistent service delivery would be commercially relevant. The buyer recorded the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so competitors should assess whether they have the operational capacity and compliance arrangements expected for a multi-year council transport 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.
