The requirement is for a six-seater vehicle with a passenger assistant, providing transport for people travelling to the college. The work falls within general transport services (CPV 60000000) and is classified as a service requirement. Delivery is centred on the route between Sudbury and Long Melford and the college site in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. This opportunity is therefore relevant to operators able to provide small-capacity, assisted passenger journeys rather than general haulage, vehicle supply or unrelated education services. The named buyer is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport. The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 7 August 2026 to All Day Cars. Suffolk County Council ran it as a mini-competition under its Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. The submission deadline was 9:00 on 7 August 2026, with clarification questions due by 9:00 on 31 July 2026. The awarded value is £108,300. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The tender was evaluated through the purchasing process used for the passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The award is active and the wider tender is marked complete. This is a single awarded requirement, covering the specified route, six-seater vehicle and passenger assistant service. For a supplier assessing future work from Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, this award demonstrates demand for dedicated college transport on a regular cross-town and inter-town route, delivered with a small vehicle and passenger assistant. A credible competitor would need reliable access to a six-seater vehicle, appropriately trained staff to provide passenger assistance, and the operational capacity to run scheduled journeys between Sudbury, Long Melford and Bury St Edmunds. Route planning, punctuality, safeguarding, passenger care and dependable cover for vehicle or staff absence would be important evidence of capability. Experience of education or other assisted passenger transport would help demonstrate suitability. Suppliers should also be able to operate through a Dynamic Purchasing System mini-competition and meet its participation requirements when comparable demand returns. ## 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.
