Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for a school journey from Onehouse, near Stowmarket, to Wells Hall Primary School in Great Cornard, Sudbury. The requirement covers transport along this named route and is part of the council’s wider passenger transport needs. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich, and the service is delivered in Suffolk. The procurement is categorised as transport services, excluding waste transport, under CPV 60000000. The selected supplier is a specialist local transport business, indicating that the requirement is focused on providing an operational passenger transport service for pupils travelling between the stated origin and school destination.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. The deadline for returned submissions was 09:00 on 28 July 2026, with clarification questions due by 09:00 on 24 July 2026. Arrow Taxi Services Ltd was awarded the contract on 29 July 2026 for £90,630. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The award is active and the tender is complete. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award was made to Arrow Taxi Services Ltd, based in Stowmarket, Suffolk.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates established demand from Suffolk County Council for scheduled passenger transport serving a named school route over a multi-year operating period. A credible future competitor would need to provide passenger transport services for the complete journey between Onehouse, Stowmarket and Wells Hall Primary School in Great Cornard, Sudbury, and to participate through the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System and its mini-competition route. The selected supplier, Arrow Taxi Services Ltd, is a local taxi services business, showing that the buyer accepts a specialist transport operator for this type of school journey. Suppliers should therefore be able to deliver a reliable, route-specific school transport service at comparable operational scale.
