Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council has procured a passenger transport service for its Route 65008, carrying pupils from Bognor Regis to Herons Dale School. The requirement is for a vehicle with four passenger seats and one passenger assistant (PA). The service is a dedicated school journey rather than general taxi provision, with the route linking Bognor Regis and Herons Dale School. The buying organisation is West Sussex County Council, based in Chichester. The delivery location is identified by the postcode PO19 1RQ, as well as the wider South East region. The work falls within passenger taxi services, and the procurement is classed as a service. The requirement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to MY CARS SUSSEX LTD. West Sussex County Council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The award was made on 12 August 2026. The awarded value is £77,428.33. The contract period runs from 19 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 5 August 2026 at 12:00. The requirement is presented as one route, for four seats and one passenger assistant. The published procurement estimate and award value are the same. The data records an active award to the selected supplier; it does not describe a signed contract.

This award shows demand from West Sussex County Council for a school transport operator able to provide a reliable, route-specific journey between Bognor Regis and Herons Dale School, with capacity for four passengers and a passenger assistant. A credible competitor for this requirement would need suitable vehicles, dependable scheduling and the ability to provide the required passenger support throughout the service. The award went to an SME, and the procurement was suitable for SMEs, indicating that this scale of route contract can be delivered by a smaller supplier as well as a larger operator. Experience managing school transport and coordinating journeys to a named school would be directly relevant when this requirement returns to market. The buying route was a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers would need to be positioned to compete through that route.
