Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a passenger transport service for Route 20035, carrying four passengers from Crawley to Jigsaw School with one passenger assistant. The requirement is classified as taxi services and falls within the services category. Delivery is in the South East of England, with the procurement address associated with Chichester. The service is intended to provide a dedicated journey between the named locations, with capacity for four seats and an accompanying passenger assistant. This is a focused school transport requirement rather than a general taxi supply arrangement, so relevant businesses are operators able to provide regular, managed passenger journeys and the required passenger-assistance support for the route.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 29 July 2026 to ROBIN CARS LTD. West Sussex County Council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The awarded value is £57,377.08 including the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 5 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender deadline was 22 July 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation was carried out through the dynamic purchasing system call-off process. The contract covers one route requirement: Route 20035, Crawley to Jigsaw School, providing four seats and one passenger assistant. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates established demand from West Sussex County Council for dedicated school transport delivered through its dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to operate suitable taxi or passenger transport vehicles, provide four passenger seats, and supply a reliable passenger assistant for the journey. The route-specific nature of the service means operators should be able to plan dependable recurring travel between Crawley and Jigsaw School, manage passenger safeguarding and punctuality, and maintain consistent service standards throughout the contract. Businesses should also be prepared to participate in the council’s dynamic purchasing system and compete through its call-off process. The council’s assessment that the requirement is unsuitable for SMEs indicates that bidders should demonstrate sufficient organisational capacity and operational resilience.
