The requirement was for school transport, with the route and destination defining the work. The buyer is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. The service relates to passenger transport rather than the supply of vehicles: operators able to provide suitable transport for this journey are the relevant businesses. The procurement was run as a competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The procurement is complete and was awarded to Five One Taxis Ltd. The award date was 24 September 2026, and the contract runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The awarded value is £6,894.72. This was a mini-competition under the passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. Submissions were due by 09:00 on 23 September 2026, with clarification questions due by 09:00 on 22 September 2026. The stated route was Beccles to Ness Point School, Lowestoft, for four seats. The procurement data does not provide the evaluation criteria, so the recorded outcome is the selected supplier and award value. This award shows Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport buys defined, small-capacity school journeys through competition within its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. Five One Taxis Ltd was selected to provide the Beccles-to-Ness Point School journey, indicating that a credible competitor for this requirement needs to organise reliable passenger transport for four seats on the specified route and meet the school service’s operational needs. The work is suited to an operator with local coverage around Beccles and Lowestoft and the capacity to deliver the journey throughout the contract term. The buyer marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, which is relevant when assessing whether a business of that type should pursue comparable requirements. ## 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.
