Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council has completed the procurement process for providing taxi services along Route 52066 to Philpots Manor, under the industry category of taxi services (CPV: 60120000). The selective procurement method was utilised, meaning the opportunity was restricted to suppliers already on a dynamic purchasing system. This tender, which reached the award stage on 25 August 2025, culminated in a contract that runs from 1 September 2025 to 31 July 2027. The total value of the awarded contract is £45,011. The services will be delivered in the South East region of the United Kingdom, specifically around the locality of Chichester, with the postal code PO19 1RQ.

This tender represents a business growth opportunity for SMEs specialising in transportation services, particularly those with existing arrangements or capability to join dynamic purchasing systems. Despite initially not being directly open to small or voluntary organisations, the selected supplier, ABC CARS, is a scalable SME, indicating that businesses of similar size and agility may stand a competitive chance in future opportunities. Such contracts can lead to stable revenue streams and enhance reputation through association with esteemed local government entities like West Sussex County Council.
