The requirement is a specific route-based transport service, rather than a general vehicle purchase. The council was the buyer, with the destination in Colchester and the journey originating in Hadleigh, Suffolk. The procurement has been awarded. Hadleigh Private Hire Cars Limited was selected, with an award value of £9,507.60. The award date was 7 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 8 October 2026 to 31 August 2027. The council sought the service through a mini-competition under its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The stated submission deadline was 6 October 2026. The council reserved the right to extend the contract up to 21 July 2028. The procurement was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. For suppliers competing when this specific transport requirement returns to market, the relevant capability is providing passenger transport for a four-seat journey between Hadleigh and Rallysport Engineering in Colchester. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that it can reliably cover this route and meet the council’s passenger transport service requirements through its Dynamic Purchasing System mini-competition. The award indicates a relatively small, defined route contract rather than a broad transport operation. The council marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so suppliers should take that assessment into account when judging their fit. This award provides evidence of demand for a dedicated journey between these locations by a provider able to deliver the specified four-seat 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.
