Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for the QHL104 school journey from Exning to Clements Primary Academy in Haverhill. The requirement is a scheduled transport service for pupils travelling between the two named locations. It falls within the broad transport services category. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Russell Road, Ipswich, Suffolk. The service is part of the council’s wider passenger transport requirements and was run as a mini-competition under its Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services. The route-specific nature of the requirement makes this relevant to operators able to provide reliable school transport between Exning and Clements Primary Academy in Haverhill.

The procurement has been completed and an active award was made to 2MTAXI Ltd on 4 August 2026. The awarded value is £13,300. The contract runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The route was competed through a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services. The tender deadline was 9:00am on 3 August 2026, and clarification questions had to be submitted by 9:00am on 30 July 2026. The tender was for services and was recorded as complete. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one award; no separate lot structure or detailed award criteria is stated in the procurement information.

This award is commercially relevant to taxi firms, private-hire operators and other passenger transport providers with the vehicles, drivers and operational control needed for a regular school route. The requirement shows a specific local need for transport linking Exning with a primary academy in Haverhill, rather than a general fleet or network contract. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate dependable daily service, suitable vehicles, punctuality, safeguarding-aware driver management and the resilience to cover routine operational problems. Familiarity with school passenger transport, route planning and council purchasing systems would strengthen future qualification. The recorded suitability assessment did not identify the opportunity as aimed at SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so businesses should assess their capacity and compliance position carefully when similar council requirements return.
