The requirement was for a vehicle with four passenger seats and a passenger assistant (PA), for the school journey. This is a local, school-focused transport service rather than a general passenger transport requirement. The buyer is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich, and the named destination is Kessingland Primary Academy. The procurement was run as a mini-competition under the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The work is categorised as transport services (CPV 60000000). The procurement is complete and awarded. Dan’s Prebooked Cars was selected, with an award value of £48,529.80. The award date was 8 September 2026. The contract period runs from 10 September 2026 to 31 August 2027; the council reserved the right to extend the contract up to 31 July 2028. The submission deadline was 7 September 2026 at 09:00, and clarification questions were due by 4 September 2026 at 09:00. The competition was a mini-competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System. No lots or evaluation criteria are reported in the procurement details. This award demonstrates demand from Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport for a small-scale, dedicated school journey between Wrentham and Kessingland Primary Academy, requiring capacity for four passengers and a passenger assistant. A credible competitor for this specific requirement would need to provide suitable passenger transport and arrange a PA to support the journey. The contract was won by Dan’s Prebooked Cars, a supplier based in Lowestoft. The council used a mini-competition within its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, so suppliers seeking to compete for this same type of work would need to be positioned to participate through that route and deliver the defined school transport service reliably. ## 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.
