The specified requirement is a vehicle with four seats, with different drop-off times and addresses on two days. This is a school transport service, rather than a general transport contract. The listed destination is Harleston; the tender’s delivery address is associated with Ipswich, but no more precise collection or drop-off addresses are provided in the published description. The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to SPRY Management. The award date was 14 October 2026. The awarded value is recorded as £0, so it does not establish a usable contract price or scale. The contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The competition was run under Suffolk County Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, through a mini-competition. The submission deadline was 14 October 2026, with clarification questions due by 13 October 2026. The requirement is presented as a single journey service, not divided into lots. The published outcome does not state the evaluation criteria or explain how the bids were compared. This award demonstrates demand from Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport for small-vehicle school transport between Carlton Colville and a school in Harleston, including journeys where schedules and drop-off locations vary across days. SPRY Management was selected for this requirement, showing that a supplier could meet the buyer’s needs through a mini-competition under its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. Suppliers seeking comparable future work would need to provide a four-seat vehicle and manage differing journey arrangements reliably. The recorded contract covers a defined school-year period, indicating a short-term, route-specific requirement rather than a broad transport operation. Small and medium-sized enterprises are not identified as suitable for this procurement. ## 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.
