Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a taxi service for one passenger on Route 70024, travelling from Burgess Hill to Merrywood House SM Campus. This is a passenger transport service for a specific route rather than a general taxi requirement. The service is associated with West Sussex; the procurement also gives Chichester as the council’s address. The route and passenger count define the known scope, with no further service specification described. The buying organisation is West Sussex County Council.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to AA Mobility Services Ltd. The award was made on 4 September 2026, following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract runs from 11 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its awarded value is £38,785.02, matching the estimated procurement value. The tender deadline was 28 August 2026 at 12:00. The procurement is presented as a single route requirement, not divided into lots. The only evaluation information published here is that the contract was awarded through this call-off process; no scoring criteria or specific eligibility conditions are set out.

For suppliers considering similar West Sussex requirements, this award demonstrates demand for a dedicated taxi journey for one passenger between Burgess Hill and Merrywood House SM Campus. A credible competitor would need to provide dependable passenger transport on the specified route and manage a service sized to a single passenger rather than a broad fleet requirement. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that a smaller transport business can deliver this kind of council work. The route was awarded through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so familiarity with that purchasing route would be relevant when competing for comparable requirements from this buyer. The award provides evidence of a defined, route-specific transport need rather than a general taxi service.
