Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured taxi services for Route 1677, transporting four passengers and providing one personal assistant between Littlehampton and APC Worthing. The work is classified as services and is intended for delivery in West Sussex, including the Littlehampton-to-Worthing route. The requirement is a dedicated passenger transport operation rather than the supply of vehicles or general transport consultancy. It is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The buying organisation is West Sussex County Council, based in Chichester. The stated requirement is focused on a specific route, vehicle capacity and passenger-assistance provision, so it is most relevant to operators able to provide scheduled local transport and the associated passenger support.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids closed at 12 noon on 18 August 2025. The contract was awarded on 25 August 2025 to LEMON TECH SOLUTIONS LIMITED for £27,588. The contract period runs from 1 September 2025 to 31 July 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £27,588. The award is active. The requirement covers one service rather than separately described lots, for four seats and one personal assistant on Route 1677. The procurement category is services and the stated classification is taxi services. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and the full awarded amount.

This award demonstrates a defined local need for contracted taxi transport linking Littlehampton with APC Worthing, with capacity for four seats and provision for one personal assistant. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to operate suitable passenger vehicles, maintain reliable coverage along the route and provide the required passenger-assistance capacity as part of the service. Small and medium-sized transport businesses are expressly within the suitable supplier group. Experience of public-sector passenger transport, dependable scheduled journeys, safeguarding and passenger-care procedures, driver availability and the administrative discipline to work through a dynamic purchasing system would strengthen a supplier’s position. Operators able to combine local route knowledge with consistent service delivery are the closest fit.
