Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process led by West Sussex County Council, titled "Worthing to Palatine School - car - 1 PA," falls under the taxi services industry category. The contract is situated within the South East region of the United Kingdom, specifically in Chichester, with postal code PO19 1RQ. The procurement reached the award stage on 22 August 2025, following the completion of the tender process on 15 August 2025. The contract period spans from 1 September 2025 to 31 July 2026, with an estimated value of approximately £25,950.20. The selective procurement approach involved a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, indicating a focus on specific suppliers who can meet the required standards and specifications for the services.

This contract offers growth potential particularly for businesses specialising in taxi or transportation services. Given the call-off nature of the procurement from a dynamic purchasing system, established suppliers in this niche who can deliver consistent and reliable transportation services would be well-positioned to partake in similar future tenders. While the current contract does not target SMEs or VCSEs, larger enterprises or those with the required capacity and infrastructure can benefit from such opportunities provided by West Sussex County Council. Engaging in public contracts such as this one can enhance a firm's portfolio and trust within government circles, leading to more procurement opportunities.
