Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a passenger transport service on route 30020 between East Grinstead and Ingfield Manor. The service requires a wheelchair-accessible vehicle (WAV), one passenger assistant and capacity for one wheelchair. It is a taxi service for a specific route, rather than a general transport requirement. The council is based in Chichester, West Sussex; the route description identifies East Grinstead and Ingfield Manor as the journey points. The procurement is categorised as a service and is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The route and vehicle requirements make this most relevant to operators able to provide accessible passenger transport and passenger-assistant support for this journey.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to AERO MOBILITY CARS LTD. The award was made on 27 August 2026, at a value of £66,101.56. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The council used a selective procedure, as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 20 August 2026. The requirement was for one route and specified one passenger assistant and one wheelchair place. The published evaluation basis and any further eligibility requirements are not stated in the procurement details. The successful supplier is identified as an SME.

This award shows that West Sussex County Council buys dedicated, accessible transport for an individual route, with passenger-assistant support and wheelchair capacity. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to operate a suitable wheelchair-accessible vehicle and reliably cover the East Grinstead–Ingfield Manor journey, as well as provide a passenger assistant. The scale is suited to a smaller transport operator able to commit a vehicle and staff to a defined route, rather than a provider relying only on general taxi capacity. The council used a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers seeking comparable work need to be positioned to compete through that route. The selected supplier was an SME, demonstrating that a smaller business can deliver this type of local, specialist passenger transport.
