The requirement is for a four-seated vehicle, indicating a small-scale passenger transport service for school travel. The work is associated with Suffolk County Council’s passenger transport function and is delivered in the Beck Row and Stowmarket area. The relevant service category is passenger transport services, covering the provision and operation of transport rather than vehicle supply alone. Suppliers serving school and other passenger transport requirements in Suffolk, particularly operators with suitable small vehicles and local route knowledge, would be relevant to this type of requirement. The selected supplier is based in Ipswich, while the service locations are Beck Row and Stowmarket. The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. Submissions were due by 9:00am on 27 August 2026, with clarification questions due by 9:00am on 26 August 2026. The contract was awarded on 1 September 2026 to Davide Dedona trading as Pronto Cabs, at £24,510. The awarded contract period runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender is recorded as complete and the award is active. The requirement was treated as a services procurement. The published information identifies the vehicle capacity and journey requirement as the key specification. The award followed the competitive route available through the passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. This award demonstrates a defined requirement for reliable, local passenger transport supporting school travel between Beck Row and Stowmarket. A credible competitor for similar Suffolk County Council work would need to operate a suitable four-seated vehicle, provide dependable scheduled journeys and manage passenger safety and service continuity. Local knowledge of Beck Row, Stowmarket and surrounding Suffolk routes would help with practical delivery, including timings, collection arrangements and traffic planning. The contract also indicates that the council uses mini-competitions within its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need to understand that route and respond clearly to individual journey specifications. Small passenger transport operators with appropriate vehicles, experienced drivers and capacity to provide consistent school-related services are the closest fit. ## 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.
