Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured passenger transport for its Route 53497, carrying four pupils from Crawley to Manor Green Primary School, with one passenger assistant (PA). The requirement is a taxi service and sits within the wider passenger transport services market. The service is delivered along the Crawley-to-Manor Green Primary route, with the procurement location also associated with the PO19 1RQ area in West Sussex. The council is the buying organisation. This is a school transport operation rather than a general taxi framework requirement: suppliers need to provide a vehicle with four passenger seats and support the journey with one PA. The requirement is categorised as a service and concerns a single specified route.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to EZY GATWICK LTD on 29 July 2026. The awarded value is £38,099.98. The contract period runs from 5 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 22 July 2026 at 12:00. The council used a selective procedure, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, for the taxi service. The award is active. The requirement concerns one route rather than multiple lots, with four seats and one passenger assistant. The procurement was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published information identifies the award outcome and supplier, with the contract covering the full specified route service.

This award shows continuing public-sector demand for dedicated school transport combining a small passenger vehicle with passenger-assistant provision. A credible competitor for this buyer would need reliable route planning and daily operating capacity between Crawley and Manor Green Primary School, a vehicle able to carry four pupils, and a suitable PA who can support passengers throughout the service. Experience of scheduled school journeys, dependable attendance at collection and drop-off points, safeguarding-aware working practices and effective communication with the council would strengthen a future offer. The route is delivered through a dynamic purchasing system, so relevant operators should understand that purchasing route and maintain the approvals, records and operational readiness needed for call-offs. The buyer’s assessment did not mark this requirement as suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, indicating a preference for established delivery capacity.
