The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini-competition under a dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services. The award went to Good to go rides ltd. The award date was 15 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 16 October 2026 to 31 July 2029. The awarded contract value is £77,117.20.

The evaluation criteria are not described in the available procurement details. This award shows demand from Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport for school transport in Ipswich, specifically a four-seat vehicle accompanied by a passenger assistant. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need to provide a suitable small-capacity vehicle and staff capable of supporting passengers during the journey. The selected supplier, Good to go rides ltd, demonstrates the type of provider that secured this contract. The buyer used a mini-competition through its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system, so familiarity with supplying passenger transport through that route would be relevant. The stated scope is focused on a particular school journey rather than a broad transport network; operators with capacity to cover that journey and deliver assisted school transport 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.
