Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a passenger transport service for Route 53496, carrying children from Burgess Hill to Manor Green Primary School. The route requires a four-seat vehicle, one passenger assistant and a child car seat. This is a local school transport operation rather than general taxi work, although it is classified as taxi services (CPV 60120000). Delivery is in the South East of England, with the council based in Chichester. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. Suppliers would need to provide safe, reliable, school-focused transport and coordinate the vehicle, passenger assistant and child seating arrangements needed for the specified journey.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 30 July 2026 to AERO MOBILITY CARS LTD. West Sussex County Council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The award value is £45,986.81 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 6 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 23 July 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation led to an active award for the defined Route 53496 service, with the requirement structured around a four-seat vehicle, one passenger assistant and a child car seat. The award covers the single described school transport requirement between Burgess Hill and Manor Green Primary School.

This award indicates a defined requirement for small and medium-sized passenger transport operators able to deliver school journeys with a low-capacity vehicle and dedicated passenger assistance. A credible competitor would need dependable day-to-day vehicle availability, drivers experienced in transporting children, and the ability to provide a suitable child car seat. It would also need to organise and maintain a passenger assistant arrangement for the route, while meeting the council’s operational and safeguarding expectations for school transport. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused local operator rather than only a large transport group. The dynamic purchasing system call-off route is relevant to suppliers seeking similar council transport work.
