Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for education journeys linking Haverhill with Reboot Education in Bury St Edmunds, and Newmarket with Elevated Education. The requirement was for a four-seated vehicle, indicating a small-capacity transport service rather than a large school or public bus operation. The work covers transporting passengers between these named education locations and the relevant pickup and drop-off points. The buyer is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich, and the procurement is categorised as transport services. This requirement is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire vehicle businesses and passenger transport providers able to deliver scheduled education journeys using a four-seat vehicle across Suffolk and the surrounding area.

The procurement was a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services and has reached the awarded stage. The contract was awarded to 2MTAXI Ltd on 10 September 2026 for £14,784.28 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The original tender submission deadline was 10 September 2026 at 09:00, and clarification questions were due by 09:00 on 9 September 2026. The requirement was treated as a single transport service procurement, with a completed tender status and an active award. The selected supplier is 2MTAXI Ltd, registered in Fordham, Ely, Cambridgeshire.

This award provides a clear example of the council’s demand for small-vehicle education transport serving routes between Haverhill, Bury St Edmunds and Newmarket. A credible future competitor would need to operate a reliable four-seated vehicle and provide dependable passenger transport for education placements, with the ability to cover journeys across the named Suffolk locations. The requirement suits an established taxi or private-hire operator with practical experience of scheduled passenger movements, route planning, punctual collection and safe delivery to education settings. Suppliers should also be able to manage the administrative demands of a council transport arrangement and participate in a Dynamic Purchasing System mini-competition. The awarded provider’s profile shows that a small specialist operator can meet this type of requirement.
