Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a taxi service for Route 60137, carrying one passenger between Chichester and Educate U. The requirement is for a four-seat vehicle and relates to special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transport; the route is specified as requiring no passenger assistant. The recorded delivery location is Chichester, West Sussex.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to LEMON TECH SOLUTIONS LIMITED on 25 August 2026. The award value is £34,530.26. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 18 August 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This award shows demand from West Sussex County Council for dedicated, small-vehicle transport of a single passenger on a defined school-related SEND route. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need to provide taxi services using a four-seat vehicle and reliably carry the passenger between Chichester and Educate U without a passenger assistant. The award went to a supplier recorded as an SME, indicating that a smaller provider can deliver this type of requirement. The commercial fit is strongest for operators able to provide consistent, route-specific passenger transport for a single traveller, rather than general vehicle capacity alone.»
