The requirement is for a four-seat service, serving a school journey at 09:00. The buyer is Suffolk County Council, with the work associated with Ipswich and the surrounding Bramford route. This is a local, route-specific transport service rather than a general transport contract. The procurement formed a mini-competition under the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, so it relates to providing transport to meet a defined journey requirement. The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Suffolk County Council selected LOYAL EXPRESS CABS LTD. The award date was 6 October 2026, for £13,050.72. The contract period runs from 8 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. This was a mini-competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The submission deadline was 09:00 on 6 October 2026, and clarification questions were due by 09:00 on 5 October 2026. The available procurement information describes a single four-seat route requirement, from Bramford to Northgate High School in Ipswich. The contract was classified as a service; no further evaluation basis is stated in the supplied process details. For suppliers considering similar school transport work for Suffolk County Council, this award demonstrates demand for a small-capacity, scheduled journey between Bramford and Northgate High School in Ipswich. A credible competitor would need to provide dependable passenger transport for a four-seat requirement and reliably meet the school journey time. The selected supplier was a cab company, indicating that a local taxi or private-hire operator may be well placed to serve this type of route. The buyer ran the competition through its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, so suppliers would need to be able to compete through that route. This is a focused service contract, best suited to an operator able to cover the specified local route and deliver the required journey consistently. ## 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.
