Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a passenger transport service for Route 3631, carrying one passenger between Haywards Heath and LVS Hassocks. The vehicle requirement is six seats, with one passenger assistant (PA) supporting the journey. The procurement is categorised as taxi services (CPV 60120000) and falls within services. The route is in the South East of England. The council is based in Chichester and is the organisation responsible for buying the service. This requirement is therefore relevant to operators providing contracted school or education transport, taxi services, and passenger assistance, particularly businesses able to provide a suitable six-seat vehicle and a PA for a single-passenger route between Haywards Heath and Hassocks.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. West Sussex County Council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 17 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to FAB MOBILITY LTD on 24 June 2026 for £40,148.65 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award is active. The published procurement information identifies the requirement as a single passenger transport service, with a six-seat vehicle and one PA. The contracting process records the service as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award was made to FAB MOBILITY LTD, an SME.

This award demonstrates demand from West Sussex County Council for dedicated, assisted passenger transport on a defined education route. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need a reliable six-seat vehicle, the ability to carry one passenger safely, and a suitably capable passenger assistant. It would also need to plan and deliver consistent daily transport between Haywards Heath and LVS Hassocks, with dependable driver and vehicle availability throughout the service requirement. Experience in taxi, school transport or other passenger services would help demonstrate operational competence, safeguarding awareness and the ability to support a vulnerable or education-related passenger. The successful supplier was FAB MOBILITY LTD, an SME, showing that a specialist local mobility operator delivered the requirement.
