Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council has awarded a contract for taxi services under the title "WSCC Route 3628 - Crawley to Hambrook School, Burgess Hill - 5 Seater (MPV)". This procurement pertains to the services category and is located in the South East region of the United Kingdom, with the postal code PO19 1RQ. The contracting process utilised a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender phase concluded on 17th June 2026, and the contract period extends from 1st July 2026 to 31st July 2027, with an award value of £38,311.20. This announcement was published on 20th July 2026, marking the completion stage of the procurement process.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses within the taxi and transportation industry to engage in service delivery for local councils, potentially expanding their portfolio through government contracts. While the opportunity was accessed via a dynamic purchasing system, which often favours established suppliers familiar with such frameworks, SMEs and VCSEs were not considered for this award despite the involvement of AERO MOBILITY CARS LTD, an SME, as the successful supplier. Businesses with experience in contractual public service delivery and those equipped with suitable vehicle fleets would find this type of tender advantageous for growth and local market positioning.
