## Summary

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured a passenger transport service for the Beck Row to Soham Village College route, requiring capacity for four seats. The service is intended to transport passengers between Beck Row and Soham Village College in Suffolk. The procurement falls within transport services, excluding waste transport, and is classified under CPV 60000000. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, operating from Ipswich. This is a local, route-specific service rather than a general transport framework or fleet supply requirement. Businesses considering relevance should therefore focus on operators able to provide scheduled passenger journeys for a small number of passengers between the named communities and the school.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services. The contract was awarded to Newtax Ltd on 6 August 2026 for £36,480. The awarded contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The original submission deadline was 6 August 2026 at 09:00, with clarification questions due by 31 July 2026 at 09:00. The tender was for services and the process is recorded as complete. The award is active, and the selected supplier is Newtax Ltd. The available information identifies the route, seating requirement and DPS route to market, but gives no separate lot structure or published scoring breakdown.

For competing passenger transport operators, this award demonstrates a defined local requirement for regular school-related transport between Beck Row and Soham Village College, with a relatively small vehicle capacity. A credible future supplier would need to operate a suitable four-seat passenger vehicle, provide dependable scheduled journeys and manage the practical demands of a school route in Suffolk. Experience in passenger transport, reliable driver and vehicle availability, safe operating procedures and the ability to meet the requirements of Suffolk County Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System would be commercially relevant. The route also provides a clear indication of the buyer, service type and operating scale to monitor when comparable requirements return to market.
