Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a taxi service for its Route 10015 journey from Crawley to Ashdown Gardens School, carrying two passengers without a passenger assistant. The requirement is for passenger transport on this specified school route. The buyer is West Sussex County Council, based in Chichester. The delivery information gives Chichester and the South East of England; the route itself identifies Crawley and Ashdown Gardens School. This is a focused transport service rather than a general taxi requirement, and is relevant to operators able to provide journeys for two passengers on the stated route.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to GATE CARS LTD. The award date was 27 August 2026. The awarded value is £28,166.20. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The council used a selective procedure, as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The service was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The published requirement gives the route, passenger count and absence of a passenger assistant; no separate evaluation basis or lot structure is stated in the procurement details.

This award shows a specific requirement from West Sussex County Council for taxi transport between Crawley and Ashdown Gardens School, with capacity for two passengers and no passenger assistant. A credible competitor for this requirement would need to operate suitable passenger vehicles and reliably deliver the stated school journey. The selected supplier, GATE CARS LTD, is identified as a small or medium-sized business, showing that the requirement was served by an SME. The buying route was a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers seeking comparable work from this council would need to be positioned to participate through that route. The work is a defined, single-route passenger transport service, rather than a broad school transport package.
