Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured a passenger transport service for a four-seat journey from Lowestoft to Magnum Opus Boxing Gym and Fitness in Wymondham. The requirement is a specific route serving the named destination, rather than a general transport service across Suffolk. The procurement was run as a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The recorded delivery location is Suffolk; the named journey starts in Lowestoft and ends at the fitness venue in Wymondham.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Atlas Private Hire Ltd. The award was made on 21 October 2026, at a value of £9,363.20. The contract period runs from 22 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender deadline was 20 October 2026. The competition was conducted under a Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. It was a single specified journey requirement, with four seats. No evaluation criteria or separate lot structure are recorded in the procurement details.

This award demonstrates demand from Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport for a small-capacity journey service linking Lowestoft with a named fitness destination in Wymondham. A supplier competing for a similar requirement would need to provide suitable vehicles and reliable passenger transport for a defined route and destination. The selected supplier, Atlas Private Hire Ltd, indicates that a private-hire operator was able to meet this requirement. The work is a focused passenger transport service, so relevant experience in operating scheduled or contract journeys and the capacity to provide a four-seat vehicle would support a credible offer. The route and destination are central to this buyer’s requirement; broad transport capability alone may not establish fit for this specific service.
