Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a passenger transport service for Route 7392, carrying students from Selsey to Fordwater Sixth Form. The requirement is for a multi-purpose vehicle with six passenger seats, one passenger assistant and wheelchair provision. It falls within taxi services and is a service contract. The route connects Selsey with Fordwater Sixth Form, with the council based in Chichester, West Sussex. The specification is therefore aimed at an operator able to provide scheduled education transport, accommodate a wheelchair user and provide a passenger assistant as part of the service. This is a focused school transport requirement rather than a general taxi or vehicle hire service.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. West Sussex County Council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 22 July 2026 at 12:00, and the award was made on 29 July 2026. The contract runs from 5 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The awarded value is £80,656.63 including the stated currency of GBP. 24X7 WEST SUSSEX LIMITED was selected as supplier for the full requirement. The tender was evaluated as a taxi services procurement for passenger transport, with the published requirement covering six MPV seats, one passenger assistant and wheelchair capacity on the Selsey to Fordwater Sixth Form route.

This award shows demand from West Sussex County Council for specialist school transport combining vehicle provision, passenger assistance and wheelchair access. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need a suitable multi-purpose vehicle with at least six passenger seats, safe and practical wheelchair accommodation, and the ability to provide a passenger assistant. Experience in scheduled education transport and dependable route operation would be relevant, particularly for journeys between Selsey and Fordwater Sixth Form. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so an established local or regional transport operator with accessible vehicles, trained staff and sufficient operational capacity would be well placed to compete.
