Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured an individual passenger transport service using a four-seat vehicle for a journey from Mellis and Eye to the Holistic Wellbeing Centre in Ipswich. The requirement is a specific passenger journey rather than general transport provision. The named buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. The procurement falls within passenger transport services and concerns travel to the wellbeing centre. The journey description identifies Mellis and Eye as the collection locations and Ipswich as the destination; no further route or service specification is stated in the available description.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 9 October 2026 to Zanyar Ali Taxis. The awarded value is £7,523.01. The contract period runs from 13 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The requirement was run as a mini-competition under a dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services. Submissions were due by 09:00 on 9 October 2026, and clarification questions by 09:00 on 7 October 2026. The stated vehicle capacity was four seats, and transport was individual. The award identifies one supplier; no lot breakdown or evaluation criteria are provided in the process details.

For a taxi or passenger transport operator, this award shows Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport buys individual journeys using a small vehicle for travel from Mellis and Eye to a wellbeing centre in Ipswich. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide reliable, individual passenger transport on the specified route, using a vehicle with four-seat capacity, and operate within the council’s passenger transport purchasing arrangement. The award to Zanyar Ali Taxis demonstrates that a taxi supplier was selected for this particular service. The stated suitability settings do not identify the opportunity as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller firms should assess the applicable requirements and purchasing route carefully.
