Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured taxi services for Route 20029. The requirement sits within passenger transport services and is intended to provide journeys along the specified route. Delivery is associated with Chichester, including the PO19 1RQ area, and the wider South East of England. The council is the buying organisation and is based in Chichester. The service is classified under CPV 60120000, covering taxi services. This is a route-specific transport requirement rather than a purchase of vehicles or general transport consultancy. Businesses considering similar work should therefore be able to operate passenger taxi services in or around West Sussex and serve the locations connected with Route 20029.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 2 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the award was made on 9 March 2026. SHELLS TAXIS was selected for an award of £29,995.68 including the stated GBP currency. The awarded contract runs from 16 March 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £29,995.68. West Sussex County Council recorded the tender as complete and the award as active. The award relates to the whole Route 20029 taxi-services requirement rather than separately identified lots.

This award provides a clear example of West Sussex County Council’s demand for route-specific taxi provision through its dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to provide reliable passenger transport, maintain suitable vehicles and drivers, and organise regular delivery along the required route and surrounding locations. Local knowledge of Chichester and the wider West Sussex area would support dependable operations, particularly where journeys must be coordinated consistently. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME, showing that this type of council transport requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist operator. Businesses with established taxi operations and experience of public-sector route work would be best placed to assess comparable opportunities from this buyer.
