Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured taxi transport for its Route 7390 school journey, carrying two passengers between Horsham and Angmering School. The service falls within passenger transport and taxi services, with the CPV classification 60120000. Delivery is associated with Chichester, West Sussex, and the route named in the requirement. The council is the buying organisation and the contracted supplier is a commercial car operator based in Crawley. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply, construction or general professional-services opportunity. Businesses assessing comparable work should have the operational ability to provide reliable, repeated school transport for a very small passenger group along the specified route, with suitable vehicles and arrangements for dependable collection and delivery.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. West Sussex County Council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids were due by 23 July 2026 at 12:00, and the contract was awarded on 30 July 2026. SAFEWAY CARS CRAWLEY received the contract for £60,965.06 including the published currency, GBP. The contract runs from 6 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award is recorded as active and covers the full Route 7390 taxi service for two passengers. The stated procurement category is services. The published process information identifies the route, passenger requirement, call-off route and contract value; the award record does not set out separate lots or additional award criteria.

This award indicates a defined requirement for contracted school transport on a regular route, rather than an occasional taxi journey. A credible future competitor would need to operate suitable passenger vehicles, plan dependable daily or scheduled journeys, and manage pick-up and drop-off between Horsham and Angmering School for two passengers. Local knowledge of the West Sussex area and the ability to cover the route consistently would be commercially relevant. The buyer used a dynamic purchasing system call-off, so suppliers seeking similar work would need to understand and operate through that purchasing route. The awarded supplier’s business is based in Crawley, indicating that the requirement is suited to an established commercial transport operator able to provide reliable service across the local area.
