Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a taxi service for a school journey from Bognor Regis to St Anthony’s School, covering four passenger seats and one passenger assistant. The work is passenger transport by taxi, with delivery associated with postcode PO19 1RQ in West Sussex. This is a specific school-route requirement rather than a general transport service, so it is most relevant to operators able to provide suitable vehicles and staffing for a regular journey between Bognor Regis and the school. The council is based in Chichester.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to GATE CARS LTD. The award was made on 12 August 2026, following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The stated award value is £69,441.20. The contract period runs from 19 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender deadline was 5 August 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was for one school transport route, with four seats and one passenger assistant. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the available award and tender information.

This award demonstrates West Sussex County Council’s demand for contracted taxi transport on a defined school route, including capacity for four passengers and provision of a passenger assistant. A supplier seeking to compete for a comparable requirement would need to operate reliable passenger transport between Bognor Regis and St Anthony’s School, provide a suitably sized vehicle, and supply an assistant as part of the service. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized business, indicating that this scale of route can be delivered by an SME. The purchasing route was a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so a credible competitor would need to be positioned to participate through that route as well as meet the operational needs of the journey.
