Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a passenger taxi service for Route 30014, carrying up to four passengers without a passenger assistant between Littlehampton and Woodlands Meed College. The requirement is categorised as taxi services and falls within the wider services category. The route serves the council’s school or college transport needs, with the recorded delivery location associated with Chichester, West Sussex. The buying organisation is West Sussex County Council. This is a small, defined transport operation rather than a general vehicle hire requirement: relevant businesses are operators able to provide a suitable four-seat vehicle and deliver regular journeys on the named route. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids were due by 23 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 30 July 2026 to LEMON TECH SOLUTIONS LIMITED for £27,322.15 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 6 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The awarded value and period apply to the single requirement for Route 30014. The selected supplier is recorded as an active award recipient. The published procurement value was also £27,322.15, and the process used a services category and selective procurement route.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for scheduled education transport using a small-capacity taxi vehicle, with a four-seat arrangement and no passenger assistant. A credible future competitor would therefore need the operational ability to run the Littlehampton–Woodlands Meed College route consistently, provide a suitable vehicle, manage passenger movements safely and reliably, and maintain dependable service throughout the school or college transport cycle. Suppliers should also be able to participate in West Sussex County Council’s dynamic purchasing system and meet its qualification requirements for call-offs. The opportunity is particularly relevant to small and medium-sized taxi, private-hire or specialist passenger-transport operators with local route knowledge, dependable driver cover and capacity for a regular single-route service.
