The requirement covers transport for the specified route rather than a broad fleet or transport network service. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich, and delivery is associated with Rendlesham and Felixstowe in Suffolk. The work falls within passenger transport services, including transport by road, and is categorised as services. This requirement is relevant to operators able to provide reliable, appropriately sized vehicle transport for an education-related journey between these locations. The procurement is complete and was awarded on 9 September 2026 following a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. 24x7 Ltd was awarded the contract for £21,675.20. The contract runs from 10 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Responses were due by 9.00am on 9 September 2026, with clarification questions due by 9.00am on 7 September 2026. The council reserved the right to extend the contract to 31 July 2028. The published process does not state an award scoring model or separate evaluation criteria. The opportunity was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined local demand for scheduled education transport using a small-capacity vehicle on the Rendlesham–Felixstowe route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide a suitable four-seat passenger vehicle, dependable availability for the contracted journey, and safe, consistent service for education passengers. Experience operating passenger transport services and the ability to respond through Suffolk County Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System would be commercially relevant. The buyer’s classification of the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs indicates that competing businesses may need the organisational capacity, operational resilience and compliance arrangements expected of established transport providers, even though the vehicle requirement itself is modest. ## 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.
