Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured taxi transport on Route 2231 for three passengers travelling from Liss and Easebourne to Slindon College. The requirement is for a vehicle with four seats, providing capacity for the stated passenger group. The service is delivered on this journey in West Sussex, with the route linking Liss and Easebourne to the college. This is a passenger transport service rather than a goods or works contract. The buyer is West Sussex County Council, based in Chichester. The procurement concerns a specific school journey, so it is most relevant to taxi and passenger transport operators able to provide reliable transport on this route for a small group of passengers.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to ACE TAXIS WEST SUSSEX LTD. The award date was 13 August 2026, and the contract period runs from 20 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The awarded contract value is £41,252.84. The council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 6 August 2026 at 12:00. The requirement is described as one route for three passengers in a four-seat vehicle; no separate lots are identified. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate. The published information does not describe the evaluation criteria, so the basis on which competing offers were assessed cannot be summarised.

This award demonstrates demand from West Sussex County Council for a dedicated taxi service transporting a small passenger group from Liss and Easebourne to Slindon College. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized taxi operator, showing that this scale of route can be delivered by an SME rather than requiring a large transport fleet. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need access to a four-seat vehicle and the operational capacity to provide dependable passenger transport along the specified school journey. Operators familiar with serving the relevant localities and coordinating transport for a small number of passengers would be well placed to meet the requirement. The council used a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so experience supplying services through that route would also be relevant.
