Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport services for a specific journey between Syleham and The Link in Fressingfield. The requirement was for a vehicle with four seats, indicating a small-scale passenger transport service rather than a large vehicle operation. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich, Suffolk. The service falls within the broad transport services category, covering transport services other than waste transport. The procurement was run as a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services. The requirement concerns the delivery of passenger transport for this named route and location, with the service arranged for the council by a contracted transport provider.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 22 September 2026 to Hawk Express Cabs Ltd. The awarded value is £7,429. The contract period runs from 24 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. It was conducted as a mini-competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System, with submissions due by 09:00 on 22 September 2026 and clarification questions due by 09:00 on 21 September 2026. The requirement was evaluated through the competition process for the specified passenger transport service. The tender covered one four-seat requirement for the Syleham–The Link, Fressingfield journey. The tender status is complete and the award status is active, confirming that a supplier has been selected for the service.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for small-capacity passenger transport serving a named Suffolk route. A credible future supplier would need to provide a suitable four-seat vehicle and reliably deliver passenger journeys between Syleham and The Link in Fressingfield. The opportunity is most relevant to taxi operators, private-hire businesses and other passenger transport providers able to undertake scheduled council journeys at this scale. Suppliers considering similar council requirements would benefit from understanding the practical demands of a small route, including vehicle availability, dependable operation and the ability to work through a Dynamic Purchasing System mini-competition. Hawk Express Cabs Ltd’s award shows that a local or regional operator can meet this type of requirement for Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport.
