Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for a school journey involving Roman Hill Primary School in Lowestoft. The requirement was for a vehicle providing four seats, supporting transport to or from the school rather than a general transport service. The work falls within the transport services category, excluding waste transport. The named buyer is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Russell Road, Ipswich. Delivery information also identifies Lowestoft through the requirement title and gives a wider United Kingdom location. This opportunity is therefore relevant to operators providing small-capacity passenger transport for school services in Suffolk, particularly around Lowestoft.

This procurement has been awarded following a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. The tender was completed on 27 July 2026, with submissions due by 09:00 that day and clarification questions due by 09:00 on 23 July 2026. Goldline Ltd was awarded the contract on 27 July 2026 for £12,103. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, and the council reserved the right to extend it until 31 July 2028. The tender status is complete and the award is active. The procurement was for one four-seat requirement rather than multiple stated lots.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates a specific requirement from Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport for small-capacity school transport linked to Roman Hill Primary School in Lowestoft. A credible future competitor would need to provide reliable passenger transport for four seats and operate effectively around Suffolk school routes, with the administrative capability to participate in a council mini-competition under its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The awarded supplier, Goldline Ltd, is based in Beccles, indicating that a local or regional operator may be well placed to deliver this type of journey. The requirement is a useful indicator of demand for focused, low-capacity education transport rather than large-scale fleet services.
