## Summary

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured a passenger transport service for the 09:00 journey from Bury St Edmunds to Elevated Education in Newmarket. The requirement calls for a four-seat vehicle and a passenger assistant. The work is a specific passenger journey rather than a general transport service, with the named route and destination defining its scope.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Ant Travel Limited on 29 September 2026. The award value is £41,291.94. The contract period runs from 6 October 2026 to 31 July 2029. Suffolk County Council ran the competition through its Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The tender submission deadline was 29 September 2026, with clarification questions due by 28 September 2026. The published information identifies the vehicle and passenger assistant requirement; no evaluation basis is described.

For suppliers considering similar work from Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, this award demonstrates demand for a defined passenger journey between Bury St Edmunds and an education destination in Newmarket. A credible competitor would need to provide a four-seat vehicle and a passenger assistant, and be able to deliver the specified 09:00 journey reliably over a multi-year contract. The competition was run through a passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, so suppliers seeking comparable work should be positioned to participate through that route. The award provides a useful indication of the buyer’s requirements for this particular journey, rather than evidence of a broader transport lot.
