Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a taxi service for one passenger travelling from Lindfield to Woodlands Meed College, under Route 30015. The stated requirement is for a four-seat vehicle. This is a school transport service, with the journey linking Lindfield and Woodlands Meed College in West Sussex.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Sussex School Transport Ltd. The council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The award was made on 17 August 2026, following a submission deadline of 10 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £52,663.99. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

This award demonstrates demand from West Sussex County Council for a dedicated, single-passenger school journey using a four-seat vehicle. Sussex School Transport Ltd, identified as an SME, was selected for the work. A supplier competing for this specific requirement in future would need to provide taxi transport suited to one passenger on the Lindfield–Woodlands Meed College route, with vehicle capacity matching the stated four-seat requirement. The evidence here is specific to this school route and passenger arrangement; it does not establish additional accreditation, staffing or fleet requirements.
