The requirement falls within general transport services and is a service contract for transporting passengers between these locations. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich, Suffolk. The delivery information also identifies IP1 2BX in Ipswich and the United Kingdom. The named requirement concerns a specialist academy, indicating a school transport journey rather than general public bus services. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are passenger transport operators, taxi firms, private-hire vehicle companies and other providers able to deliver a four-seat service between Beccles and Great Yarmouth. This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services. Submissions were due by 09:00 on 25 August 2026, with clarification questions due by 09:00 on 24 August 2026. The award was made on 28 August 2026 to Five One Taxis Ltd. The recorded awarded value is £0. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, and the council reserved the right to extend the contract until 31 July 2028. The tender record allows for four seats and identifies passenger transport services as the main category. The procurement was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. This award shows that Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport uses its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System to source small, specialist school journeys, including a four-seat requirement between Beccles and Great Yarmouth. A local taxi operator, Five One Taxis Ltd, was selected, indicating that appropriately licensed and operationally capable taxi or private-hire providers can meet this type of requirement. A credible competitor would need suitable four-seat passenger vehicles, reliable availability for scheduled education transport, knowledge of the local road network and the ability to provide dependable journeys involving a specialist academy. It would also need to qualify for and operate through the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System mini-competition route, manage clarifications and submissions through the required procurement process, and demonstrate capacity to deliver consistent service for the full contract term. ## 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.
