Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council has concluded the procurement process for a contract titled "Worthing to Chailey Heritage-Accessible vehicle, PA mum/carer", under the industry category of Taxi services. This contract was facilitated using a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract, valued at £45,206.70, was awarded to LEMON TECH SOLUTIONS LIMITED and is set to be executed between 1st September 2025 and 31st July 2026. Although the tender stage has been completed, the award was published on 19th February 2026. The services are primarily located in the South East region of the United Kingdom, with the council's office based in Chichester (postal code PO19 1RQ).

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in accessible transportation solutions. While the procurement did not shortlist small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs), the contract demonstrates an ongoing demand for specialised taxi services that can cater to specific needs. By engaging with similar procurement opportunities, businesses can expand their service offerings in the regional market, gain new clientele, and build long-term relationships with public sector organisations like West Sussex County Council.
