How Suffolk handles TOEFL scores
Suffolk lists TOEFL iBT including the TOEFL iBT Home Edition at every level. The page does not state a TOEFL validity period, MyBest policy or institution code.
For comparison, the same page asks undergraduates for IELTS 6.0 with 5.5 in each component, postgraduates for 6.5 with 5.5 and professional health courses for 7.0 with 6.5.

If your TOEFL score is below Suffolk's level
The page does not describe a TOEFL route into pre-sessional English. Applicants from Pakistan must provide an approved English language test result, and Suffolk refers you to your country page for other routes.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Suffolk programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
