## Summary

Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport procured passenger transport for a journey from Bucklesham to Wetheringsett Manor School in Wetheringsett Cum Brockford. The route requires a four-seated vehicle. This is a specific school transport service rather than a general transport requirement, and the stated delivery is between the named locations. The buying organisation is Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Hawk Express Cabs Ltd. The award date was 25 September 2026, at a value of £121,079.40. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 July 2031. This was a mini-competition under a dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services. The submission deadline was 24 September 2026 at 09:00, with clarification questions due by 23 September 2026 at 09:00. The requirement is presented as a single route; no lot breakdown or evaluation criteria are provided in the available process details.

For suppliers competing when this buyer next procures this specific school journey, the award indicates demand for a passenger transport operator able to provide a four-seated vehicle and reliably serve the Bucklesham–Wetheringsett Manor School route. The selected supplier was Hawk Express Cabs Ltd. The competition ran through a dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services, so relevant experience operating within that route is useful context for competitors. Suffolk County Council marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No particular accreditation, specialist vehicle feature or additional qualification is identified here.
