Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has concluded an award stage for the procurement titled "QLT330 2026-02-03 (0900) Leiston - Horizon Primary School, Lowestoft (4 seated vehicle)." This process falls under the services category, specifically for transport services without waste transport. The contract involved is valued at GBP 22,988.10, with Five One Taxis Ltd as the awarded supplier. The procurement in this dynamic purchasing system covers transport needs across several locations, including the British Oversea Territories and other regions within and beyond the United Kingdom. The procurement's contractual period is scheduled from 13th February 2026 to 16th October 2026, following the tender period's deadline on 3rd February 2026.

This procurement presents opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses in the transport services sector capable of providing efficient passenger transport solutions. The process leverages a dynamic purchasing system, potentially reducing barriers to entry for qualified suppliers. Companies experienced in handling small-scale transport solutions, such as those suited for a four-seated vehicle, are particularly well-positioned to benefit. While the awarded organisation, Five One Taxis Ltd, is already involved, similar businesses may find opportunities for future participation in this dynamic purchasing arrangement as the Council reserves rights for contract extensions, thus continually opening avenues for engaging with public transport services on an ongoing basis.
