Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a taxi service for Route 60141, carrying passengers from Worthing to the Central Hub in Brighton. The route requirement specifies a female driver. The service is associated with delivery in Worthing and Brighton; the council is based in Chichester. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle purchase or general taxi provision, and the route and driver requirement define the work. The council’s procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The named service is specific to this route, so relevant suppliers are those able to provide taxi transport for the journey and meet the female-driver requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to LEMON TECH SOLUTIONS LIMITED. The award was made on 12 August 2026 for £25,108.99. The contract period runs from 19 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The original procurement estimate was also £25,108.99. It was a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The response deadline was 5 August 2026 at 12:00. The available details identify one route and one award; no evaluation criteria are stated. The successful supplier is identified as an SME. The award is active, and the tender status is complete.

This award demonstrates demand from West Sussex County Council for a defined passenger taxi route between Worthing and Brighton, with a female driver specifically required. A credible competitor for this requirement would need to arrange suitable taxi transport for that journey and reliably provide a driver who meets the stated condition. The work is route-specific, so suppliers with practical capacity to cover both locations and deliver the requested passenger service are the closest fit. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this individual requirement was delivered by a smaller business. The route was bought through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so experience supplying taxi services through such purchasing arrangements would be relevant if the same requirement returns to market.
