## Summary

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for a route from the IP2 area of Ipswich to Innov8 Workshops in Rougham. The requirement was arranged as a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The work concerns transport to the named destination rather than a general transport service across Suffolk. The recorded delivery location is Ipswich, with the route ending at Innov8 Workshops in Rougham.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Royal Rides was selected, with an award value of £13,342.56. The award date was 20 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 21 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. This was a mini-competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The return deadline was 20 October 2026 at 09:00, and the deadline for clarification questions was 19 October 2026 at 15:00. The process record gives no evaluation criteria or explanation of how bids were assessed.

For suppliers considering a future requirement from Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, this award demonstrates demand for a defined passenger transport route serving the IP2 area of Ipswich and Innov8 Workshops in Rougham. A credible competitor would need to provide transport that reliably serves those locations and meet the operational requirements set out for the route when the buyer next procures it. The selection of Royal Rides shows that a transport supplier was able to meet the buyer’s requirement through a competition under its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The published award value indicates a relatively modest, route-specific contract rather than a broad transport service. The opportunity is a poor fit for businesses unable to deliver passenger transport for this particular route.
