Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport bought passenger transport services for a scheduled school journey from Stoke by Clare to Clare Primary School. The requirement falls within transport services and is a service contract rather than goods or works. Delivery is associated with the school route and the council’s passenger transport operation in Suffolk. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. The selected supplier is John Barry trading as John’s Taxis, based in Glemsford, Suffolk. The procurement was run as a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services, showing demand for local operators able to provide a defined route serving a primary school.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to John Barry trading as John’s Taxis on 22 July 2026. The awarded value is £146,300. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 August 2031, with the council reserving the right to extend it until 31 July 2033. It was a mini-competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The tender submission deadline was 22 July 2026 at 09:00, and clarification questions were due by 20 July 2026 at 09:00. The tender was classified as a services procurement and the process is recorded as complete.

This award is relevant to passenger transport operators serving Suffolk, particularly businesses able to provide reliable, regular transport on a defined school route between Stoke by Clare and Clare. John’s Taxis demonstrates that a local taxi business can meet this type of council requirement through the Dynamic Purchasing System route. A credible competitor would need operational capacity for a recurring school journey, dependable vehicles and drivers, and the ability to manage scheduled passenger transport consistently over a multi-year service period. Familiarity with Suffolk locations and the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System would also help. The opportunity indicates demand for focused local transport provision rather than a broad fleet or network-wide service.
