Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "WSCC Route 38 - Public Bus - Burgess Hill Town Services - 16 + 1 Wheelchair" was undertaken by West Sussex County Council. This contract, awarded on 4th May 2026, falls under the category of public road transport services. Situated in the South East region of the UK, the service will operate from 11th May 2026 until 31st March 2031. The procurement stage is now at the award phase, having concluded the tender stage on 27th April 2026. This was a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, with a contract value of £100,000.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the transport sector, particularly those capable of offering public bus services. While the contract was ultimately secured by Compass Travel, an SME, the procurement method indicates that similar opportunities may still be available for firms registered on dynamic purchasing systems. Organisations with the capability to provide comprehensive transport solutions in compliance with regional demands will be particularly well-suited for similar future tenders managed by local authorities such as West Sussex County Council.
