Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a passenger taxi service for one passenger travelling from Bognor Regis to St Anthony’s School. The requirement was for a four-seat vehicle, with the route identified as WSCC Route 20038. This is school transport, specifically a single-passenger journey rather than a general taxi-service contract. The delivery address information includes PO19 1RQ, in West Sussex. The council is the buyer, and the route and school destination define the work’s practical scope. The procurement is classified as a service, with taxi services as its specific category.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to MY CARS SUSSEX LTD. The award was made on 27 August 2026, at a value of £72,726.64. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The estimated tender value was also £72,726.64. The council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 20 August 2026 at 12 noon. The requirement was a single route, with no separate lots identified. The recorded suitability indicates that small and medium-sized enterprises could participate. The procurement data does not set out a separate evaluation formula or scoring basis.

For a supplier considering comparable school transport work for West Sussex County Council, this award shows demand for a dedicated, single-passenger taxi journey from Bognor Regis to St Anthony’s School, using a four-seat vehicle. A credible competitor would need to provide dependable transport on the specified school route and meet the practical requirements of carrying one passenger safely. The contract was awarded through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so relevant suppliers need to be able to participate in that route to market. The recorded award to a small business indicates that a smaller provider can deliver this scale of requirement. The available procurement details do not identify specific vehicle adaptations, driver qualifications or safeguarding accreditations, so no particular capability in those areas can be inferred as an award requirement.
