Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a passenger transport service for one passenger travelling on Route 7387 from Burgess Hill to Aurora Chaldon School, without a passenger assistant. The requirement is classified as taxi services and falls within the services category. The service is delivered between the named locations in West Sussex. The council is the buyer and contracting authority. This is a dedicated school transport journey rather than a general taxi requirement, so it is relevant to operators able to provide reliable, scheduled transport for a single passenger and meet the practical requirements of the route. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that smaller established taxi and passenger transport operators are within the intended supplier market.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective 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 AA Mobility Services Ltd on 30 July 2026. The awarded value is £34,170.49 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 6 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The procurement was evaluated as a taxi services requirement for one passenger on the Burgess Hill to Aurora Chaldon School route, with no passenger assistant. There is one award and one supplier. The recorded tender status is complete and the award status is active.

This award demonstrates demand from West Sussex County Council for dedicated, single-passenger school transport delivered on a defined route. A credible future competitor would need to operate suitable taxi or passenger transport vehicles, provide dependable scheduled journeys between Burgess Hill and Aurora Chaldon School, and manage the safeguarding, punctuality and continuity expected for school travel. The requirement is suited to an SME-scale operator rather than only a large fleet business. Experience in regular school or assisted passenger transport would help demonstrate operational reliability, although the recorded requirement is specifically for travel without a passenger assistant. Suppliers already able to work through a dynamic purchasing system would be well placed to pursue comparable council requirements when they return.
