Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured passenger taxi services for one passenger travelling from Selsey to Fordwater. The requirement is identified as Route 7371 and includes “PA - Medication”, indicating that the journey involves a passenger-assistance or medication-related requirement. The service falls within the broad category of taxi services, rather than the supply of vehicles or general transport infrastructure. Delivery is associated with the Selsey-to-Fordwater route in West Sussex, with the council based in Chichester. This is a single-passenger transport requirement for a defined route, so it is most relevant to taxi operators and specialist passenger transport providers able to deliver reliable journeys and accommodate the assistance needs connected with the passenger.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective procedure using a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender closed on 23 July 2026 at 12:00. West Sussex County Council awarded the contract to EZY GATWICK LTD on 30 July 2026. The awarded value is £95,176.44 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 6 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award is active, and the contract covers one passenger on Route 7371 between Selsey and Fordwater. The published information identifies this as a services procurement and records the requirement as taxi services. No lots or separate awards are identified.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement is useful evidence of a sustained, defined demand for assisted passenger taxi transport from West Sussex County Council. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to operate taxi or passenger transport services, organise dependable journeys on a fixed local route, and have the practical capacity to serve one passenger consistently. The “PA - Medication” element means providers should be prepared to understand and follow the passenger-assistance arrangements required for medication-related travel, within the limits of their role and the contract requirements. Operators familiar with council transport call-offs and dynamic purchasing system processes would be well placed to assess similar requirements from this buyer.
