Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by West Sussex County Council, involved the route service titled "WSCC Route 10001 - Chichester to Conifers House School, Easebourne - 4 Seats" under the services category of the transport industry. The contract, valued at GBP 62,658.20, falls under taxi services and utilises a selective procurement method via a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The procurement reached the award stage on 25th August 2025, and the contract period runs from 1st September 2025 to 31st July 2027. This project, located in the South East region of the United Kingdom, was targeted at medium to large-scale providers as SMEs and VCSEs were not deemed suitable.

Companies with robust infrastructure to support multi-year service contracts would find this type of tender particularly beneficial for business growth, enabling them to establish or expand their foothold in public transport service provision within the South East. Given the competitive nature of the procurement method and the substantial contract value, businesses capable of delivering consistent, high-quality services stand to benefit greatly.
