The requirement was for a four-seated vehicle, indicating a small-capacity transport service rather than a large vehicle or fleet operation. The work falls within general transport services, covering passenger travel rather than freight or waste transport. Delivery was associated with Lowestoft, Wymondham and the surrounding Suffolk area, with the buying organisation based in Ipswich. The requirement was run by Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport for its own transport needs. Suppliers operating passenger vehicles and able to provide reliable journeys on this route would be the most directly relevant businesses. This procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services. Submissions were due by 9:00am on 28 August 2026, with clarification questions due by 9:00am on 27 August 2026. The award was made on 1 September 2026 to Andalusia Trading Ltd trading as Roadrunner Taxis, for £1,857.44 including the published GBP currency. The awarded contract period runs from 3 September to 19 October 2026. The tender was classified as a services procurement and used the Dynamic Purchasing System route. The published information identifies the requirement as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. This award shows that Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport uses a Dynamic Purchasing System mini-competition to source small-scale, scheduled passenger journeys. A credible competitor for this type of requirement would need access to a roadworthy four-seated vehicle, appropriately qualified and licensed drivers, and the operational capacity to provide dependable transport between Lowestoft and Wymondham. Local knowledge of Suffolk roads, punctuality, safeguarding and passenger care would be relevant to delivering the service consistently. Businesses should also be able to respond accurately to short, route-specific competition requirements, manage clarification and submission deadlines, and meet the administrative conditions of the passenger transport purchasing system. Taxi operators and other passenger transport providers with comparable vehicle and driver capability are the closest commercial peers. ## 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.
