Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a passenger taxi service for its Route 7398 journey between Hassocks and Burstow Park. The requirement covers a vehicle with four passenger seats and no personal assistant. It is a services contract in the taxi transport category, intended to provide the specified route rather than general transport provision. Delivery is associated with the South East of England, with Hassocks and Burstow Park identified in the route title. The council is the buying organisation and the service is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement is focused and operational: a supplier must provide suitable passenger transport for this named journey and meet the stated four-seat capacity without a personal assistant.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. West Sussex County Council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 22 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to AA MOBILITY SERVICES LTD on 29 July 2026 for £33,393.22 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 5 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender was for taxi services, with a total stated procurement value of £33,393.22. One supplier is identified for the award. The process concerned a single route requirement for four seats and no personal assistant, rather than a multi-lot procurement.

This award shows a defined local authority requirement for scheduled passenger transport on a named route, with capacity for four passengers and no personal assistant. It is relevant to small and medium-sized taxi operators, private-hire firms and community transport businesses able to provide a dependable vehicle and operate consistently between Hassocks and Burstow Park. A credible future supplier would need practical route coverage, suitable four-seat passenger capacity and the operational reliability to deliver an education or assisted-travel style council journey over an extended service period. The use of a dynamic purchasing system also indicates that suppliers seeking comparable council work should be able to participate through that procurement route and respond to specific call-offs.
