The requirement specifies a four-seat vehicle, indicating a small-capacity journey rather than a general fleet or broad transport service. The work is for a defined route serving Phoenix Progress; the delivery location is identified as Ipswich, Suffolk. The procurement was run by the council’s passenger transport function as a competition within its passenger transport services purchasing system. The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Nash Auto Ltd was selected for the service. The award was made on 5 October 2026, at a value of £3,652.35. The contract period runs from 6 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. This was a mini-competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The original submission deadline was 5 October 2026, and clarification questions were due by 2 October 2026. The requirement was specified as one four-seat vehicle service. The available details do not state the evaluation criteria used to select the supplier. For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need to provide passenger transport on a defined route serving Phoenix Progress in Claydon, using a vehicle with at least four seats. The award demonstrates demand from Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport for a small, route-specific service rather than a large-scale transport operation. Suppliers with the ability to organise dependable journeys on a contracted timetable and operate suitable vehicles would be well placed to compete when this buyer next requires comparable transport. The procurement was conducted through a mini-competition under the council’s passenger transport services purchasing system, so familiarity with participating in that route would be relevant. The stated suitability flags exclude SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; suppliers should take this into account when assessing fit. ## 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.
