Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for the Reydon–Kings Dam project in Gillingham. The requirement was for a four-seated vehicle, indicating a small-scale passenger transport operation rather than a large fleet or conventional public bus service. The service is categorised as transport services, excluding waste transport, and the delivery location includes the council’s address in Russell Road, Ipswich, alongside locations in Gillingham and Reydon identified in the project title. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport. Suppliers with suitable passenger vehicles and the ability to provide reliable, planned journeys for the specified project are the most relevant businesses. The procurement formed part of the council’s wider passenger transport purchasing activity.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services. Submissions were due by 09:00 on 21 August 2026, with clarification questions due by 09:00 on 20 August 2026. The award was made on 25 August 2026 to Andalusia Trading Ltd trading as Roadrunner Taxis. The awarded value is £0 GBP. The contract period runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender was for services and was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. The tender record identifies the required four-seated vehicle and the completed status; no separate lot structure or evaluation weighting is stated.

This award shows that Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport uses a dynamic purchasing system and mini-competitions to source local, vehicle-based passenger transport. A credible competitor for this requirement would need access to a suitable four-seated vehicle, the operational capacity to provide dependable journeys for a defined project, and the ability to meet tightly controlled submission and clarification processes. Taxi and private-hire operators with experience of passenger transport contracts are especially relevant, as the selected supplier operates as Roadrunner Taxis. Businesses should also be prepared to work within the council’s purchasing system and demonstrate reliable service delivery for council-supported transport needs. The buyer’s stated suitability assessment means that smaller or voluntary-sector organisations may face a less favourable fit for this particular procurement route.
