## Summary

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for an individual journey from Felixstowe to Apex Education at Bucklesham Park, The Heath, Bucklesham, Ipswich, IP10 0BW. The requirement was for a four-seated vehicle and a male personal assistant to support the passenger during transport. The service falls within the broad category of transport services, excluding waste transport. Delivery is associated with Suffolk and the United Kingdom, with the buyer based in Ipswich. This was a service requirement rather than a goods or construction contract, focused on providing dedicated education-related passenger transport between Felixstowe and the Apex Education site in Bucklesham.

The procurement is complete and was run as a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services. Submissions were due by 9:00 am on 10 August 2026, with clarification questions due by 9:00 am on 7 August 2026. Tony Kirby Transport Limited was awarded the contract on 11 August 2026 for £18,012 including the stated GBP currency. The awarded contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award is active. The published information records the overall requirement as a transport services procurement and identifies Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport as the buyer.

This award is relevant to operators able to provide dedicated passenger transport using a four-seated vehicle and a male personal assistant for an education journey in Suffolk. A credible competitor would need reliable small-vehicle operations, the capacity to cover travel between Felixstowe and Bucklesham, and staff able to provide the required personal assistance throughout the service. Experience delivering individual or assisted passenger transport would be directly relevant, particularly where punctuality, continuity and careful passenger support are important. The procurement was conducted through a passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, so suppliers targeting comparable council requirements would need to understand and operate through that route. The buyer marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs.
