Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for a four-seat journey from Lowestoft to Horizon Community Training in Great Yarmouth. The requirement falls within transport services (CPV 60000000) and is a service contract intended to provide transport for the named journey. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich, Suffolk. The listed delivery location is associated with the council’s Suffolk address, while the journey itself connects Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth. This opportunity is relevant to operators able to provide reliable passenger transport for a small group, with suitable vehicles and arrangements to cover the specified route and destination.

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 18 September 2026 to ALBIES LTD for £4,727.81, including the published currency of GBP. The awarded contract runs from 22 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The original submission deadline was 09:00 on 18 September 2026, and clarification questions had to be submitted by 09:00 on 17 September 2026. The tender was for services and the process is recorded as complete. The award is active, with ALBIES LTD named as the supplier.

Although this contract has been awarded, it identifies a defined passenger transport requirement for Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport and the operating model used to procure it: a small-capacity journey between Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth through a Dynamic Purchasing System. A competing supplier would need to operate passenger transport services, provide a vehicle with capacity for four seats, and deliver dependable scheduled journeys for a named training destination. Local knowledge of the route and the ability to meet council procurement and service requirements would support credibility. The stated suitability settings do not identify the opportunity as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so businesses should consider whether their scale and organisational profile fit this buyer’s route to market.
