The requirement was run as a mini-competition under the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The recorded delivery location is Halesworth and Lowestoft; the procurement is for a specific passenger journey rather than general transport provision. The buyer is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. The service supports travel to Liminal Education and is categorised as transport services.

This award demonstrates demand from Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport for a small, defined passenger journey serving an education destination: four seats between Halesworth and Liminal Education in Lowestoft. A competitor would need to show it can reliably provide passenger transport for this route and meet the stated seat requirement, while operating through the buyer’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System mini-competition route. The selected supplier is a taxi operator, indicating that a taxi business was capable of undertaking this requirement. The opportunity is highly specific in geography and journey purpose, so local operating capability and dependable delivery on the route are central to being credible when a comparable requirement returns to this buyer’s 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.
