AWARD OUTCOME
What happened
Suffolk County Council Passenger Transport published an awarded contract notice for a passenger transport route from Felixstowe to Green Light Trust, Martlesham. The supplied award data contains two active award records, each stated at £9,369.28, but the underlying notice details name only Juber Nayeem T/A Jubz private hire Ltd while the supplied award/supplier dataset also records UNITY TRAVEL LIMITED.
Published outcomeTwo active award records are supplied: one to the unverified source-named supplier Juber Nayeem T/A Jubz private hire Ltd and one to verified legal entity UNITY TRAVEL LIMITED. The records cannot safely be treated as a £18,738.56 aggregate or allocated as a single shared contract because the duplicated values and supplier allocation are contradictory.
Market significanceA small passenger transport requirement procured through a mini-competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System, with stated requirements for a four-seat vehicle, passenger assistant and group 2/3 car seat.

SOURCE DATA LIMITATIONS
Information not supplied in the published notice
- The two active award records conflict with the detailed notice representation: both have the same stated value but name different suppliers, while only one award is present in the detailed OCDS data.
- No contract signature, executed-contract document or explicit conclusion confirmation is supplied.
- No lot titles, award-to-lot allocation, individual pricing breakdown, bid count, bidder list, evaluation scores or award rationale is supplied.
- The source name Juber Nayeem T/A Jubz private hire Ltd remains unverified after a completed Companies House matching workflow.
- The published delivery-address list includes broad and inconsistent geography alongside the route description; the route description is the clearest supplied service-location evidence.

COMMON QUESTIONS
About this award

What is the stated contract value?
Each of the two supplied active award records states £9,369.28. They should not be added together because the records may represent duplicated or inconsistent award data.
When does the stated contract period end?

ProcuraAxis award analysis supplements, but does not replace, the official award notice, contract data or procurement documents. “Awarded” does not by itself prove that a contract has been signed.
