Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a passenger transport service for Route 8308, carrying pupils from Crawley to New Barn School. The requirement is for a taxi service providing four passenger seats and one personal assistant (PA) place. The work is classified as taxi services and falls within the services category. Delivery is associated with Crawley to New Barn School and the West Sussex area, with the council based in Chichester. This is a dedicated school transport route rather than a general taxi or vehicle supply requirement. It is therefore most relevant to passenger transport operators able to provide a suitable vehicle, a reliable driver and the required personal assistant support for scheduled school journeys.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to AERO MOBILITY CARS LTD on 30 July 2026. The award value is £37,037.77 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 6 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. It was conducted as a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, rather than as an open standalone tender. The tender submission deadline was 23 July 2026 at 12:00. West Sussex County Council identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. One supplier and one requirement were awarded. The available outcome information records an active award and does not set out a separate quality, price or weighting-based evaluation formula.

This award indicates a defined local demand for contracted school transport combining vehicle provision, passenger safety and personal assistance. A credible future competitor would need to operate reliably on the Crawley to New Barn School route, provide at least four passenger seats, and supply one PA alongside the driving service. The requirement is suited to an SME-scale operator rather than a large fleet-only business, provided it can maintain dependable daily availability and continuity throughout the school transport service. Relevant strengths would include experience of transporting children, robust safeguarding and passenger-care procedures, suitable driver and PA recruitment, and the operational capacity to manage a dedicated council route under a dynamic purchasing system call-off.
