Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council has completed the procurement process for a taxi service under the title "ROUTE 3520 Pulborough to Steyning Primary - MPV, 1 x PA," categorised within the taxi services industry (CPV code 60120000). The contract is focused on the South East region of the United Kingdom, specifically with delivery addresses in Chichester, postal code PO19 1RQ. This procurement was carried out using a selective method, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, and the award was finalised on 22nd August 2025. Following the tender period, which concluded on 15th August 2025, the contract commenced on 1st September 2025 and is set to end on 31st July 2026.

This procurement presents growth opportunities specifically for taxi service providers owing to its selective method approach, ideal for established businesses familiar with dynamic purchasing frameworks. Although Star Cars Gatwick Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise, has been awarded the contract, other businesses with similar capabilities and regional knowledge could potentially benefit from future tenders. Companies with expertise in providing reliable and timely transport services in the South East of England would be well-positioned to compete in such selective procurement processes initiated by public entities like West Sussex County Council.
