Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport commissioned passenger transport services for a four-seat journey from Reydon to Pakefield High School and East Point Academy in Lowestoft. The requirement is for the supply of transport on this school route, rather than general transport provision. The named buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. The route serves the schools in Lowestoft, with Reydon as the journey origin. The procurement sits within the council’s wider passenger transport services purchasing system and is a service contract.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to YOURCAB LIMITED on 30 September 2026. The award value is £109,649. The contract runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 August 2029, with the council reserving the right to extend it up to 31 July 2030. This was a mini-competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The published process identifies a four-seat requirement and a submission deadline of 30 September 2026, with clarification questions due by 29 September 2026. No award evaluation criteria or weighting are stated in the available process details. The contract is a single route requirement, and the supplier selected was YOURCAB LIMITED.

For operators competing when Suffolk County Council next buys this specific school transport requirement, the award demonstrates demand for a small-capacity, four-seat service connecting Reydon with two schools in Lowestoft. A credible supplier would need to provide reliable passenger transport on that route and meet the operational demands of serving school destinations. The procurement was run through a Dynamic Purchasing System mini-competition, so familiarity with participating in that route is commercially relevant. The selected supplier was YOURCAB LIMITED, indicating that a transport operator could satisfy the council’s requirement at this scale. The buyer marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so businesses in those categories should take account of that stated suitability when assessing similar work.
