The requirement is school transport serving the two named schools, with Stowmarket as the origin. This is a local route-based service rather than a general transport contract. The buyer is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. The listed delivery locations do not identify a more precise route address or pickup point. The procurement is complete and was awarded to All Day Cars. The award was made on 13 August 2026, for £53,200. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 23 July 2028. This was a mini-competition under a dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services. The stated submission deadline was 13 August 2026 at 09:00, and clarification questions were due by 10 August 2026 at 09:00. The requirement was for one eight-seat service covering the Stowmarket-to-Bury St Edmunds school journey. The published procurement data does not set out the evaluation criteria or explain how bids were assessed. The award shows demand from Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport for a small-capacity, school-specific passenger service linking Stowmarket with two schools in Bury St Edmunds. A credible competitor would need to provide an eight-seat vehicle and reliably operate this defined route for school travel. Suppliers should assess whether their fleet, driver availability and operational coverage can meet the route’s requirements over a sustained contract period. The competition took place through a dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services, so suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer would need to be positioned to participate through that route. This is a focused transport requirement; its commercial relevance is strongest for operators with suitable vehicle capacity and local coverage for the Stowmarket and Bury St Edmunds journey. ## 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.
