Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport for a journey between Newmarket and Snakehall Farm, Reach, requiring a four-seat vehicle. The service is a local passenger transport route rather than a purchase of vehicles. The council is the buyer, with delivery associated with Newmarket and Reach in Suffolk. The procurement sits within the council’s wider passenger transport services purchasing system, and this requirement was run as a competition under that arrangement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Cam Cab Ltd. The award date was 25 September 2026, and the contract runs from 29 September 2026 to 30 September 2031. The awarded value is £18,720. The council reserved the right to extend the contract up to 30 September 2032. This was a mini-competition under a dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services. The submission deadline was 25 September 2026, with clarification questions due by 18 September 2026. The published procurement information does not describe the evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

This award shows a requirement for a passenger transport operator able to provide a four-seat vehicle for a defined journey between Newmarket and Snakehall Farm, Reach. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to demonstrate that it can reliably deliver this specific route and meet the vehicle capacity required. The contract was awarded through a mini-competition under the council’s passenger transport dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers would need to be positioned to compete through that route. The award also indicates a multi-year service commitment rather than a one-off journey. The council marked the opportunity as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so businesses in those categories should take that stated suitability assessment into account.
