Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a four-seat taxi service on Route 10010, transporting passengers from Crawley and Maidenbower to Limpsfield Grange School. This is a school transport service, with the route linking the named towns in West Sussex and the school destination. The procurement is for a specific route and vehicle capacity rather than a general taxi service. The council is the buyer. The listed delivery location includes Chichester, while the route itself identifies Crawley, Maidenbower and Limpsfield Grange School.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to EASY ACCESSIBLE CARS LTD. The award was made on 11 August 2026, for £31,496.22. The contract period runs from 18 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. West Sussex County Council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 4 August 2026. The requirement was for one four-seat route service; the published information gives no separate evaluation criteria. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to provide the service.

This award shows demand from West Sussex County Council for contracted school transport on a defined route, with a four-seat capacity. Suppliers well placed for a comparable requirement will need to operate taxi services serving Crawley and Maidenbower and provide transport to Limpsfield Grange School. The selected supplier was EASY ACCESSIBLE CARS LTD, indicating that a taxi operator was able to deliver this route-specific service. The buyer used a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so relevant suppliers would need to be positioned to compete through that route. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, making it relevant to operators able to provide the specified passenger capacity and route coverage.
