Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council has completed a procurement process for taxi services titled "ROUTE 60109 Littlehampton to Oak Grove - Car, No PA," which falls under the services category with CPV code 60120000. The contract will be executed within the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender period ended on 5th January 2026, and the contract is active from 19th January 2026 until 31st July 2026. The contracting authority published the award on 2nd April 2026, with a contract value of £41,756.28 GBP.

This tender presents growth opportunities primarily for SMEs, although the awarded supplier, R GSM Services LTD, indicates that businesses with a specialised focus in taxi services might have a competitive edge. Companies looking to expand or establish themselves within the South East region will find this tender appealing due to the contract's structured engagement and financial scope. Despite the absence of an emphasis on suitability for VCSEs (Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises), the procurement process through a dynamic purchasing system provides a streamlined approach for qualified businesses to participate in future opportunities.
