The requirement was for an eight-seater vehicle with a passenger assistant (PA). The service is intended to transport passengers along this specified route and involves passenger transport rather than vehicle supply alone. The named buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich, Suffolk. The procurement is categorised as transport services, covering the operation of the vehicle and the associated passenger assistance needed for the journey. The procurement has been awarded and is complete. It was run as a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. All Day Cars was awarded the contract on 6 August 2026 for £102,600. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The original submission deadline was 9:00 on 6 August 2026, and clarification questions were due by 9:00 on 29 July 2026. The requirement was evaluated through the DPS mini-competition route. The awarded supplier is All Day Cars, based in Elmswell near Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. This award demonstrates demand from Suffolk County Council for dedicated, route-based educational passenger transport using a small vehicle and a passenger assistant. A credible future supplier would need an eight-seat vehicle suitable for regular scheduled journeys, reliable operational capacity across Great Cornard, Sudbury and Bury St Edmunds, and staff able to provide passenger assistance throughout the service. Experience in contracted passenger transport, dependable driver and PA cover, route planning, safeguarding-aware operations and consistent service delivery would be relevant strengths. The requirement is particularly suited to a specialist local or regional transport operator able to maintain continuity on a single education-related route and meet the operating requirements of the council’s passenger transport system. ## 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.
