Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport has concluded the award stage for a tender concerning the provision of passenger transport services, specifically a four-seated vehicle, from Lowestoft to Bungay High School. The successful supplier, Andalusia Trading Ltd T/A Roadrunner Taxis, will commence the contract on 1st September 2025, running until 31st July 2028. The overall value of the contract is £38,760. The procurement, classified under the industry category "Transport services (excl. Waste transport)" with the CPV code 60000000, highlighted a tender process that reached completion on the 22nd of July, 2025. Key focus was given to the United Kingdom and related territories for delivery. Although the procurement method specifics were not disclosed, the competition followed a dynamic purchasing system against a notice initially broadcast in the OJEU in 2018.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses involved in passenger transport services, particularly those familiar with or operating in the Suffolk region and capable of providing smaller capacity vehicles efficiently. Enterprises looking to expand their service offerings in public sector transportation or establish themselves within local government contract circles could find potential growth. While the contract was not specifically earmarked for SMEs or VCSEs, capable small to medium-sized transport firms may still pursue similar opportunities for comparable routes or services as the system remains dynamic and repeat tenders are common. Businesses with expertise in local or territory-wide transport logistics and fleet management are well-positioned to explore forthcoming procurement processes with Suffolk County Council or allied authorities.
