Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured a passenger transport service for a scheduled journey from Glemsford in Suffolk to Stour Valley Community School in Clare, Sudbury. The requirement is classified as transport services and concerns the movement of passengers rather than goods, waste or construction. Delivery is associated with the Glemsford, Clare and Sudbury area, with the buying organisation based in Ipswich and Suffolk. The service sits within the council’s wider passenger transport requirements and is intended to support travel to the named community school. Businesses relevant to this requirement include operators able to provide regular road passenger transport for a defined school route and to manage the practical demands of that service.

The procurement has concluded and the contract was awarded through a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. Submissions were due by 09:00 on 23 July 2026, with clarification questions due by 09:00 on 16 July 2026. Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport awarded the contract on 23 July 2026 to Felix Taxis & Co. The awarded value is £34,200. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The tender is recorded as complete and the award is active. The procurement was for services, with the contract covering the specified passenger route between Glemsford and Stour Valley Community School in Clare, Sudbury.

For competitors, this award demonstrates a defined requirement for scheduled passenger transport serving a school route in the Glemsford, Clare and Sudbury area. A credible future supplier would need the operational capacity to provide dependable journeys over an extended service period, with suitable vehicles, drivers and arrangements for consistent day-to-day delivery. Local knowledge of the route and the ability to serve the named communities would be commercially relevant. The purchasing route is also clear: the council uses a Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services and runs mini-competitions for individual requirements. The opportunity was not marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so businesses should assess whether they can meet the buyer’s stated organisational expectations.
