Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a home-to-school taxi service for Route 60133, taking pupils from Lancing to Homefield Infant School. The requirement is for transport with four passenger seats and one passenger assistant, using a regular team. This is a passenger transport service rather than a general taxi requirement, with the journey and support arrangements tailored to the named school route. The buying council is based in Chichester, West Sussex, and the service is associated with Lancing and Homefield Infant School in West Sussex.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Lemon Tech Solutions Limited. The award was made on 10 August 2026, for £31,922.87. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 3 August 2026 at noon. The service was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lot structure or evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement details.

This award demonstrates a council requirement for a dedicated school transport route with a small vehicle capacity, a passenger assistant and a consistent regular team. Suppliers competing for similar work for West Sussex County Council would need to organise reliable, route-specific pupil transport and provide appropriate passenger support, rather than simply offer ad hoc taxi journeys. The selected company is an SME, showing that a smaller provider has delivered this scale of requirement. The procurement was placed through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so familiarity with that route and the ability to respond to council transport requirements through it would be commercially relevant. Experience coordinating a stable team and dependable journeys between Lancing and Homefield Infant School would align closely with the requirement.
