Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured taxi services for Route 4733 to Wisborough Green Primary. The requirement is school transport on a named route; the available description does not give further detail about the journey or passenger numbers. The service is delivered in West Sussex, with the procurement listing Chichester as an associated address. This is a transport-services requirement rather than a purchase of vehicles or general school services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to STAR CARS GATWICK LTD. The award was made on 16 February 2026, for £28,180.80. The contract period runs from 23 February 2026 to 31 July 2027. West Sussex County Council used a selective process as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 9 February 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. No lot breakdown or award evaluation basis is stated in the available procurement details.

This award shows demand from West Sussex County Council for taxi transport on a school route, with the selected supplier being an SME. A credible competitor for this particular requirement would need to operate taxi services and have the practical capacity to provide the route to Wisborough Green Primary throughout the contract period. The procurement gives no evidence of a required fleet size, passenger numbers, vehicle specification or accreditation, so those should not be treated as established qualification requirements. Its call-off route through a dynamic purchasing system also indicates that suppliers need to be positioned to compete through that purchasing arrangement when this buyer seeks similar school-route transport.
