Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for the Amber Lodge to The Hub route in Lowestoft, requiring a four-seat vehicle. The service is for travel between these named locations; the procurement is a small-vehicle passenger transport requirement rather than a general fleet or vehicle purchase. The buyer is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. The requirement was run as a mini-competition within the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The work is classified as transport services (CPV 60000000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Atlas Private Hire Ltd. The award was made on 22 October 2026, at a value of £53,216.80. The contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 31 October 2032, and the council reserved the right to extend the contract up to the latter date. The requirement was competed through a mini-competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The submission deadline was 22 October 2026 at 09:00, with clarification questions due by 16 October 2026 at 09:00. The available evaluation criteria and eligibility requirements are not stated in the procurement details.

For suppliers considering similar future passenger transport requirements from Suffolk County Council, this award demonstrates demand for a dedicated four-seat vehicle service on a named Lowestoft route. A credible competitor would need to provide a suitable vehicle and reliably deliver passenger journeys between Amber Lodge and The Hub. The selected supplier, Atlas Private Hire Ltd, indicates that a private hire operator was able to meet this requirement. The work was bought through a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services, so suppliers seeking comparable work should be positioned to participate through that route. The scale is a single-route, small-vehicle service rather than a large transport operation; operators with the relevant local delivery capability and capacity for a recurring service are the closest fit. Neither SME nor voluntary-sector suitability was indicated in the procurement.
