Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council bought a taxi service to take pupils from Horsham to Conifers House School in Easebourne. The route is specified for four seats and one passenger assistant. This is a school transport service, rather than a general taxi contract, and its core requirement is a suitable vehicle and reliable, supported journeys for the pupils travelling on this route. The delivery information includes Chichester, West Sussex and the United Kingdom, while the route title identifies Horsham and Easebourne. The buyer is West Sussex County Council, based in Chichester.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to ROADRUNNERS MECO LTD. The award was made on 12 August 2026, for £60,068.23. The contract period runs from 19 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender response deadline was 5 August 2026 at 12:00. This is a single specified route, with four seats and one passenger assistant. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No evaluation criteria are published in the contracting details.

The award shows demand from West Sussex County Council for dedicated school taxi transport linking Horsham with Conifers House School in Easebourne, including provision for a passenger assistant as well as four seats. A credible competitor for this particular requirement would need to organise dependable, pupil-focused journeys on this route and provide the specified assistant capacity. The selected supplier was ROADRUNNERS MECO LTD, an SME, demonstrating that this scale of school transport was delivered by a smaller business. The route was procured as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer would need to be positioned to compete through that route. The requirement is specifically school transport, not general taxi work.
