Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process, initiated by West Sussex County Council, centres around the taxi service industry, specifically for Route 52065 from Haywards Heath to Philpots Manor. The contract, valued at £26,600, utilises a selective procurement approach through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract was awarded to Crawley Car Company Limited and is currently in the award stage, with the contract period spanning from 5 September 2025 to 31 July 2026. The delivery address for the services is specified within the South East region of the United Kingdom, with key dates including the contract award on 27 August 2025.

For businesses in the taxi services industry, this contract represents an opportunity to enhance their market presence by providing consistent services under a public procurement scheme. Ideal candidates for competition would be mid-sized firms with the capability to meet contractual obligations within specified timelines and a focus on service provision within the South East region. Though the procurement is not directly suited for SMEs or VCSEs, companies with a strong regional presence and logistical capabilities could benefit from similar opportunities within dynamic purchasing systems utilised by public authorities.
