The requirement was for a vehicle with four seats, indicating a small-scale passenger transport service rather than a large vehicle operation.

The service falls within the broad transport services category, covering transport services other than waste transport. The procurement was run as a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of Passenger Transport Services. The requirement concerns the delivery of passenger transport for this named route and location, with the service arranged for the council by a contracted transport provider. The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 22 September 2026 to Hawk Express Cabs Ltd. The awarded value is £7,429. The contract period runs from 24 September 2026 to 31 July 2027.

The tender status is complete and the award status is active, confirming that a supplier has been selected for the service. This award demonstrates a defined requirement for small-capacity passenger transport serving a named Suffolk route. A credible future supplier would need to provide a suitable four-seat vehicle and reliably deliver passenger journeys between Syleham and The Link in Fressingfield. The opportunity is most relevant to taxi operators, private-hire businesses and other passenger transport providers able to undertake scheduled council journeys at this scale. Suppliers considering similar council requirements would benefit from understanding the practical demands of a small route, including vehicle availability, dependable operation and the ability to work through a Dynamic Purchasing System mini-competition.
