Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport for Reboot Education in Ipswich, requiring a four-seat vehicle. The service is a local transport journey associated with the education provision; the stated delivery postcode is in Ipswich. This is a transport services requirement, rather than a vehicle purchase. The council ran the competition through its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, which covers the supply of passenger transport services. The awarded suppliers are local Ipswich transport businesses, indicating a requirement focused on providing transport in and around the town. The procurement record identifies the buyer as Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 23 September 2026. All Travel Services Ltd and Hawk Express Cabs Ltd were selected as suppliers, with one stated award value of £23,977.62. The contract period runs from 23 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The requirement was for a four-seat vehicle to provide transport for Reboot Education in Ipswich. The council conducted a mini-competition under its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. Submissions were due by 09:00 on 22 September 2026, and clarification questions by 09:00 on 21 September 2026. The available information does not set out the scoring or evaluation criteria, nor how the award value is apportioned between the two suppliers.

This award demonstrates a defined local requirement for education-related passenger transport using a four-seat vehicle, procured by Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport through its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. Suppliers competing for comparable work would need to provide a suitable small vehicle and reliably deliver journeys serving Reboot Education in Ipswich. The award to two transport providers shows that more than one operator can be selected for this requirement, although the information does not explain how work is divided. The council’s stated suitability assessment marks the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so businesses in those categories should take that declared position into account. Credibility rests on relevant passenger-transport operating capability and local service delivery; no specific accreditations, staffing qualifications or evaluation weightings are stated.
