The requirement is a specific route and passenger journey rather than a general transport service. The named buyer is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, and the service is delivered in Lowestoft, Suffolk. The procurement was run as a competition within the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. This is a local, vehicle-based transport requirement focused on carrying passengers between the named locations. The contract record identifies transport services as the main category of work. The procurement is complete and was awarded to Five One Taxis Ltd. The award was made on 22 October 2026, with a value of £80,138.24. The contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 31 October 2031, and the council reserved the right to extend it up to 31 October 2032. The competition was conducted within a Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. It required a four-seater vehicle for the stated Lowestoft journey. The submission deadline was 22 October 2026 at 09:00; clarification questions were due by 09:00 on 16 October 2026. The award records one selected supplier and one contract, with no separate lots or evaluation criteria recorded. For suppliers assessing similar passenger transport work for Suffolk County Council, this award demonstrates demand for a dedicated four-seater vehicle service on a defined route in Lowestoft. A credible competitor would need to provide suitable passenger transport capacity, reliably cover the journey between Marlborough House and The Hub, Leading Lives, and meet the operational requirements for the service. The route-specific nature of the work favours local knowledge and the ability to provide consistent vehicle and driver availability over a sustained period. The council used its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System as the route to competition, so relevant experience supplying passenger transport through that purchasing arrangement would help a supplier compete when a comparable requirement is brought to market. ## Notice Suffolk County Council is seeking a mini competition against the following Dynamic Purchasing System: 'The supply of Passenger Transport Services', OJEU Notice Id: 2018/S 031-067685.
