Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for an education journey from Syleham to Reboot Education in Ipswich. The requirement was for a four-seated vehicle, indicating a small-capacity transport service rather than a large bus or fleet operation. The work falls within transport services, including passenger travel (CPV 60000000), and is categorised as a service. Delivery is associated with Syleham and Ipswich, with the buying organisation based in Ipswich, Suffolk. The named public-sector buyer is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport. This requirement concerns the provision of a vehicle and transport service to support education-related travel between the named locations.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a mini-competition under the Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. Bids were due by 9:00am on 20 August 2026, with clarification questions due by 9:00am on 19 August 2026. The contract was awarded on 20 August 2026 to Hawk Express Cabs Ltd for £14,706. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender was recorded as complete, and the award is active. The procurement used a competitive route within the dynamic purchasing system. The requirement was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates an established requirement for small-capacity education transport serving the Syleham–Ipswich journey. Suppliers competing when this requirement returns would need dependable access to a four-seated vehicle and the operational capability to provide passenger transport between these locations. Relevant experience in scheduled education journeys, reliable driver and vehicle coordination, and maintaining consistent service delivery would help demonstrate credibility to this buyer. Local knowledge of Syleham, Ipswich and the surrounding road network would be commercially useful. The award also indicates that the buyer uses a dynamic purchasing system and mini-competitions to source individual passenger transport requirements, so suppliers should be equipped to respond through that route.
