Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for a journey from Brandon to West Suffolk College (Minden House) in Bury St Edmunds. The requirement was for a four-seater vehicle and a passenger assistant, supporting transport to the college. The procurement is categorised as transport services, covering the delivery location associated with the route and Suffolk County Council’s passenger transport operations. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich, Suffolk. This opportunity is relevant to providers of small-capacity passenger transport that can supply a four-seat vehicle together with a passenger assistant for a defined education-related journey.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services. The award was made on 11 September 2026 to 2MTAXI Ltd for £194,538.72 including the published currency of GBP. The awarded contract runs from 15 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The tender allowed the council to extend the contract until 31 July 2031. The stated submission deadline was 11 September 2026 at 09:30, and clarification questions were due by 09:00 on 10 September 2026. The tender record identifies the procurement as complete and the award as active.

This award shows Suffolk County Council’s demand for contracted passenger transport on a specific route serving an educational destination, using a small vehicle and a passenger assistant. A supplier competing for comparable work would need to provide reliable four-seater vehicle capacity and passenger-assistant provision as part of an integrated transport service. The requirement was run through the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, so familiarity with that purchasing route would be commercially relevant for future comparable opportunities. The awarded supplier, 2MTAXI Ltd, is based in Cambridgeshire, indicating that providers outside Suffolk may be capable of serving the route. The tender was marked as unsuitable for SMEs, so businesses should assess their capacity to meet the council’s stated scale and operating requirements.
