Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a four-seat taxi service on Route 53512, carrying passengers from two pickup points in Angmering to Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee School. This is a local passenger transport service, rather than a general taxi call-off. The stated delivery location is West Sussex, with the council’s address in Chichester. The route name and destination indicate a dedicated journey to the school; the procurement description does not set out further operating or passenger-support requirements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to FORGE MOBILITY SERVICES LTD. The award was made on 11 August 2026, following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract is valued at £62,396.63 and runs from 18 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender deadline was 4 August 2026. The requirement is for four seats on the specified route. The procurement records SME suitability, and the award information identifies one selected supplier. No scoring criteria or further eligibility requirements are described in the available procurement details.

This award shows West Sussex County Council buys a defined, small-capacity passenger transport service for travel from Angmering to Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee School. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to provide taxi or passenger transport services and reliably operate the specified local route with four seats. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that this scale of service can be delivered by a smaller business. The purchasing route was a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers seeking similar council work would need to be positioned to compete through that route. The procurement data does not establish particular vehicle, accessibility, safeguarding or driver accreditation requirements; capability should therefore be judged against the actual terms for any comparable requirement. There is no basis here to infer wider transport work beyond this route.**
