The requirement specified a four-seater vehicle, making this a small-capacity, route-based transport service rather than a general fleet or vehicle supply contract. The work is associated with passenger transport services (CPV 60000000) and was managed by the council’s passenger transport team. The stated journey connects Newmarket with the primary school in Haverhill; the procurement does not describe additional routes or wider transport operations. The procurement is complete and was awarded to A2B Taxis (Newmarket) Ltd on 14 October 2026. The awarded value is £27,884.80. The contract period runs from 15 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. This was a mini-competition under the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The stated submission deadline was 13 October 2026 at 09:00, and clarification questions were due by 12 October 2026 at 09:00. The requirement was presented as a single route with a four-seater vehicle; no separate lots are identified. The published procurement details do not set out evaluation criteria or bidder eligibility requirements. This award demonstrates Suffolk County Council’s demand for contracted, small-capacity passenger transport on a defined school route between Newmarket and Clements Primary School in Haverhill. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need access to a suitable four-seater vehicle and the operational ability to provide reliable transport on that route for the contract term. The selected supplier, A2B Taxis (Newmarket) Ltd, indicates that a local taxi operator was capable of meeting the requirement. The council used a mini-competition through its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, so suppliers would need to be able to participate in that route to compete for comparable work. No specific accreditations or further capability thresholds are stated. ## 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.
