The requirement is a specific passenger route rather than general transport provision. The council is the buyer, and the route connects Worlingworth with the Green Light Trust destination in Martlesham, Suffolk. The procurement sits within the council’s wider passenger transport services purchasing arrangement, which uses a Dynamic Purchasing System. The service is classified as transport services (CPV 60000000). The procurement has been awarded and the award is active. Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport selected Hawk Express Cabs Ltd, based in Ipswich. The award date was 30 September 2026 and the awarded value is £11,930.10. The contract period runs from 2 October 2026 to 31 August 2027. The council may extend the contract up to 31 July 2028. This was a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The tender deadline was 30 September 2026, with clarification questions due by 29 September 2026. The contract is for one four-seat route; no lot structure or evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement details. This award shows demand from Suffolk County Council for a small-capacity, point-to-point passenger service linking Worlingworth with Green Light Trust in Martlesham. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to provide a four-seat vehicle and reliably operate this route for the contract period, with the ability to accommodate the council’s potential extension. The procurement was run as a mini-competition through the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, so suppliers seeking comparable work need to be positioned to participate through that route. Hawk Express Cabs Ltd, an Ipswich-based supplier, won this award. The stated suitability indicates that this particular requirement was not considered suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. ## 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.
