The requirement covers the transport of pupils to the primary school and falls within the wider category of passenger transport services (CPV 60000000). The named buyer is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport, based in Ipswich. The service is specific to the Lowestoft–Bungay route and is sized for four seats, making it relevant to taxi operators, small vehicle providers and passenger transport businesses able to deliver scheduled school journeys in this area. The procurement is a service requirement rather than a vehicle supply, construction or infrastructure project. The procurement has been awarded following a mini-competition under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of passenger transport services. The contract was awarded on 7 September 2026 to Andalusia Trading Ltd trading as Roadrunner Taxis for £18,433.80 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 10 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, and the council reserved the right to extend it until 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 7 September 2026 at 09:00, with clarification questions due by 4 September 2026 at 09:00. The tender was for one four-seat requirement, and the completed process has an active award and complete tender status. This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting Suffolk County Council’s school passenger transport requirements. A credible competitor would need to operate passenger transport services suitable for a four-seat school journey between Lowestoft and Bungay Primary School, with the vehicles, drivers and operational capacity to provide a dependable scheduled service. Experience of responding to mini-competitions under a passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System would be commercially relevant, as would the ability to manage precise route, timing and seat requirements. The selected supplier was a local taxi business, indicating that a focused operator with coverage in the Lowestoft and Bungay area can meet this type of requirement. The council’s stated SME and VCSE suitability settings were false. ## 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.
