The work is a local transport service for this named destination; the item is classified as passenger transport services (CPV 60000000). The buyer is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. The requirement concerns transport provision rather than the supply of a vehicle. It was run as a competition under the council’s passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. The procurement is complete and was awarded to Zanyar Ali Taxis. The award was made on 7 October 2026, at a value of £6,919.34. 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. Suppliers were asked to provide the specified local service using a four-seat vehicle. The stated submission deadline was 7 October 2026 at 09:00, and the deadline for clarification questions was 6 October 2026 at 09:00. The published award identifies the selected supplier and contract value; no evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement details. This award shows Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport’s demand for a small-scale, locally delivered transport service for Community Praxis in Ipswich, with a four-seat vehicle as the key operational requirement. A credible competitor for comparable work would need access to a suitable vehicle and the capacity to provide reliable passenger transport in and around Ipswich. The council used its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system and a mini-competition route, so familiarity with competing through that arrangement would be relevant. The recorded award provides a benchmark for the scale and type of service bought, rather than evidence of a broader transport requirement. The stated suitability flags do not identify the opportunity as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. ## 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.
