The requirement was for an individual vehicle with four seats, rather than a larger group vehicle or general fleet provision. The service falls within the transport services category and was intended to support transport to or from the children’s centre. Delivery is centred on Ipswich, Suffolk, with the buying organisation based on Russell Road in Ipswich. The requirement was run as a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. It concerns a specific local passenger transport need rather than construction, supplies or a broad consultancy service. The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 14 August 2026 to YOURCAB LIMITED. The awarded value is £3,762. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The competition was conducted as a mini-competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The submission deadline was 9am on 14 August 2026, and clarification questions had to be submitted by 9am on 13 August 2026. The tender record identifies the process as complete, while the award is active. One supplier is recorded for the requirement. The published outcome therefore confirms both the selected operator and the value attached to this individual four-seat vehicle service. This award demonstrates demand from Suffolk County Council for small-scale, local passenger transport serving children’s facilities in Ipswich. A credible future competitor would need access to an individual vehicle with four seats and the operational capacity to provide reliable scheduled transport for the required service period. Experience delivering passenger transport for public bodies or vulnerable passengers would help demonstrate suitability, although the procurement record does not set out specific qualifications or accreditations. Suppliers should also be able to operate through the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System and respond to mini-competitions in its passenger transport category. The opportunity is most relevant to established local operators or transport businesses able to provide dedicated vehicle-based services rather than large-scale fleet operators. ## 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.
