Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for a mini-competition requirement titled QBR085. The service concerns transport from Lowestoft to Magnum Opus Karting Academy in Ellough, with a four-seated vehicle required. The procurement is classified as transport services and falls within the services category. The buyer is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich, Suffolk. The requirement sits within the wider supply of passenger transport services and is delivered in the Lowestoft and Ellough area. The selected supplier is PJ Wayland's Ltd, based in Beccles, Suffolk. This is a vehicle-based passenger transport requirement rather than a general goods, construction or professional services contract.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services. Bids were due by 09:00 on 26 August 2026, with clarification questions due by 09:00 on 25 August 2026. The award was made to PJ Wayland's Ltd on 27 August 2026. The published awarded value is £0. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender status is complete and the award is active. The procurement was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The requirement was for one four-seated vehicle; the published information does not state an award scoring breakdown.

This award shows that Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport uses a Dynamic Purchasing System and mini-competitions to source small, specific passenger transport requirements. A credible future competitor for this buyer would need to operate passenger transport services in Suffolk, provide a four-seated vehicle, and reliably serve journeys involving Lowestoft and Ellough. The requirement indicates that the buyer may seek dedicated transport for a named destination rather than a broad fleet or network operation. Suppliers should therefore be able to respond to tightly defined journey requirements and work within the council’s purchasing route. PJ Wayland's Ltd’s award provides a local market benchmark: a Beccles-based passenger transport business secured this requirement, showing the relevance of operators serving Suffolk and nearby locations.
