Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a passenger transport service for Route 8312, running from Southwater to New Barn School, for two passengers with a passenger assistant. The requirement falls within taxi services and is a service contract rather than goods or construction work. Delivery is associated with West Sussex, with the recorded council address and delivery postcode in Chichester. The arrangement is intended to support travel to and from the named school route. This is a small, defined transport requirement for an operator able to provide private-hire or taxi journeys and passenger-assistance support for two passengers on the specified route.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 30 July 2026 to WESTERN CARS PRIVATE HIRE LTD. The award value is £38,873.52 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 6 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. It was conducted as a selective procedure and was a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 23 July 2026 at 12:00. The council estimated the overall requirement at £38,873.52. The opportunity was evaluated through the purchasing system’s call-off process; the published data identifies taxi services as the classification and the main procurement category as services.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement shows a specific West Sussex County Council demand for dedicated school-route transport rather than general taxi work. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to organise reliable journeys between Southwater and New Barn School, support two passengers, and provide a passenger assistant as part of delivery. The award also shows that the council places this type of work through call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers seeking similar council work would need to operate within that purchasing route. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to an established local or regional private-hire operator with the necessary transport and passenger-support capability.
