The requirement called for a vehicle with four seats and falls within transport services. The work is associated with the council’s passenger transport function and delivery addresses include Ipswich, Suffolk, as well as the United Kingdom. The successful service therefore involves providing a small-capacity vehicle and transporting passengers reliably along the specified education-related route. This is a service requirement rather than a goods supply or construction project, and is relevant to operators of cars, taxis or other suitably configured small passenger vehicles with the operational capability to provide scheduled transport for an educational setting. This procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. Returned submissions were due by 9 September 2026 at 09:00, with clarification questions due by 10 September 2026 at 09:00. The contract was awarded to Hawk Express Cabs Ltd on 14 September 2026 for £132,468. The contract period runs from 15 September 2026 to 31 July 2031. The published outcome records one active award and identifies the winning supplier. The requirement was treated as a services procurement, with the route selected through the existing dynamic purchasing system. The available information identifies the vehicle requirement and transport scope, but does not set out a separate weighted evaluation breakdown. Although this contract has already been awarded, it gives passenger transport operators a clear example of Suffolk County Council’s demand for dedicated, small-capacity education transport. A credible future competitor would need to provide a reliable four-seat vehicle, deliver scheduled journeys consistently, and manage safeguarding, passenger care, punctuality and communication expected when transporting passengers to an academy. Operators would also need the administrative and operational capacity to respond through a dynamic purchasing system mini-competition, meet tightly controlled submission requirements and support service delivery over a multi-year period. Relevant experience in school or community transport, dependable local coverage around Suffolk and Ipswich, suitable driver and vehicle compliance, and robust contingency arrangements would strengthen a future response to this buyer’s requirement. ## 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.
