The requirement called for a four-seater vehicle to transport passengers to the school. This is a passenger transport service rather than a purchase of vehicles. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich, and the service is associated with Newmarket and Burton End Primary School in Haverhill. The procurement has been awarded. Suffolk County Council selected Zoom Cambridge Cars Ltd, and the award was made on 7 October 2026. The awarded value is £47,294.80. The contract runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 July 2029. The competition was run under the council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. It was a mini-competition; the procurement method is not described further. The stated submission deadline was 7 October 2026, and clarification questions were due by 5 October 2026. This was a single route requirement for a four-seater vehicle. No evaluation criteria are provided in the process information. This award shows demand from Suffolk County Council for a small-vehicle passenger transport service connecting Newmarket with Burton End Primary School in Haverhill. Zoom Cambridge Cars Ltd was selected to deliver the requirement. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work from this buyer would need to provide a four-seater vehicle and be capable of operating the specified school transport route reliably. The procurement was conducted as a mini-competition through the council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, so familiarity with that purchasing route would be relevant. The requirement is for a defined route rather than a broad transport service, making local route coverage and the capacity to provide a suitable vehicle central to a credible offer. ## 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.
