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.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in accessible transportation solutions.
