The requirement is for a vehicle with four seats, indicating a small-scale passenger transport operation rather than a large coach or fleet service. The delivery locations are Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth, with the procurement associated with Suffolk County Council’s passenger transport function. The service falls within the broad category of transport services and is intended to provide travel between the named starting point and school destination. Businesses specialising in taxi, private-hire, minibus or other suitable passenger transport services serving Suffolk and Great Yarmouth would find the requirement most directly relevant. The procurement has been awarded following a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. The award was made on 29 August 2026 to Andalusia Trading Ltd trading as Roadrunner Taxis, at an awarded value of £0. The contract runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 August 2031, with the council reserving the right to extend it until 31 July 2033. The tender submission deadline was 09:00 on 25 August 2026, and clarification questions had to be submitted by 09:00 on 24 August 2026. The requirement was identified as a services procurement, with four seats specified for the journey. The published outcome records the selected supplier and an active award. This award demonstrates demand from Suffolk County Council for small-capacity passenger transport linking Lowestoft with a school in Great Yarmouth. Roadrunner Taxis, a local taxi business, was selected, so competitors with comparable local coverage, suitable four-seat vehicle capacity and dependable scheduled passenger transport operations would be credible for a future requirement of this type. Businesses should be able to provide consistent journeys between the named locations, manage school-related passenger transport reliably and participate through the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. Experience in taxi or private-hire services is directly relevant, while an established operating base in Suffolk or the surrounding area would support practical delivery. The opportunity is particularly relevant to smaller transport operators rather than providers focused solely on large vehicles or extensive fleet contracts. ## 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.
