Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a passenger taxi service for Route 1669, providing transport from Felpham to APC Worthing for one passenger in a vehicle with four seats. The requirement is classified as taxi services and falls within the services category. Delivery is associated with the PO19 1RQ area in West Sussex, with the route running between Felpham and APC Worthing. The council is the buying organisation and the service is intended to provide dedicated passenger transport along this specified route. This is a focused, single-route transport requirement rather than a general taxi framework, making it relevant to operators able to provide reliable scheduled journeys for a small number of passengers.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. West Sussex County Council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids had to be submitted by 18 August 2025 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to LEMON TECH SOLUTIONS LIMITED on 25 August 2025 for £25,122.64 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 September 2025 to 31 July 2027. The tender was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the selected supplier is responsible for the taxi service covering the specified Route 1669 requirement.

This award shows that West Sussex County Council uses a dynamic purchasing system to source small, defined passenger transport requirements and that an SME can secure this type of work. A credible future competitor would need to operate taxi or private-hire passenger transport, provide a suitable four-seat vehicle, and reliably carry a single passenger on the Felpham to APC Worthing route. Practical strengths would include dependable scheduled driving, route planning, punctuality, passenger-focused service and the operational capacity to maintain consistent provision throughout the requirement. Operators already positioned in West Sussex or along the route would be well placed to demonstrate local coverage, continuity and efficient vehicle utilisation when comparable council transport needs return.
