Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for The Woodview Project in Worlingham, serving the Lowestoft and Worlingham area. The requirement is for a vehicle with six passenger seats and a personal assistant (PA), indicating a supported passenger transport service rather than a general vehicle supply contract. The main work category is transport services, excluding waste transport. The procurement is associated with Suffolk County Council and the delivery information identifies Worlingham, Lowestoft and a Suffolk County Council address in Ipswich. Businesses with experience in operating passenger transport services, providing suitable vehicles and supplying passenger assistants would recognise this as a specialist local transport requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services. Goldline Ltd was awarded the contract on 29 August 2026. The recorded awarded value is £0 GBP. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 August 2031, and the council reserved the right to extend it until 31 July 2033. The tender submission deadline was 26 August 2026 at 09:00, with clarification questions due by 25 August 2026 at 09:00. The contract covers the six-seat passenger transport and PA requirement for The Woodview Project in Worlingham. The procurement is classified as a services contract.

This award provides a clear example of Suffolk County Council’s demand for managed passenger transport supporting The Woodview Project, combining a small-capacity vehicle with a personal assistant. A credible future supplier would need to operate passenger transport safely and reliably, provide a vehicle configured for six seats, and supply staff able to act as a PA during the service. Experience delivering regular, individualised or supported journeys in the Lowestoft, Worlingham and wider Suffolk area would strengthen a supplier’s position. Businesses should also be prepared to compete through the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System and demonstrate the operational capacity to maintain consistent service over a multi-year requirement.
