The service is identified as transport services excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000) and is part of the council’s passenger transport requirements. Delivery is associated with Sotterley, Great Yarmouth and the college campus, with the buying organisation based in Suffolk. This is a local education transport operation rather than a general fleet, logistics or waste transport requirement. It would suit operators able to provide reliable small-capacity passenger journeys between Suffolk and Great Yarmouth, with the operational capability to meet a fixed route and timetable. The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. Submissions were due by 09:00 on 4 September 2026, with clarification questions due by 09:00 on 2 September 2026. The contract was awarded on 7 September 2026 to Andalusia Trading Ltd trading as Roadrunner Taxis for £24,377.76. The awarded contract runs from 8 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender’s planned service period matches those dates. The process was for services and was evaluated through the mini-competition route; the published information identifies no separate award weighting or technical evaluation basis. The procurement was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates recurring demand from Suffolk County Council for contracted, small-capacity passenger transport linked to education journeys. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need dependable taxi or passenger-transport operations, vehicles and drivers capable of carrying four passengers, and the capacity to provide a consistent scheduled journey between Sotterley and East Coast College’s Great Yarmouth Campus. Reliability, route planning, punctuality and continuity across an extended education-service period would be important practical capabilities. The successful supplier was a taxi operator, indicating that a specialist local or regional passenger-transport business can meet this type of requirement through the council’s dynamic purchasing system and its mini-competition process. ## 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.
