Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council bought taxi transport on Route 60136, carrying pupils from Rustington and East Preston to West Park CE Primary School. The requirement is a defined school journey rather than general taxi provision, and the delivery area is the route between those communities and the school. The council is based in Chichester. This is a local passenger transport service, relevant to operators able to provide dependable journeys for a school route.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Community Transport Sussex. The council selected the supplier on 11 August 2026 through a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The awarded value is £78,758.72. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The response deadline was 18 August 2026. The recorded procurement estimate matches the award value. The process covers one route; the available information identifies no separate lots or evaluation criteria beyond the call-off route.

This award shows West Sussex County Council purchasing a dedicated taxi service for a school route through its dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to operate in the Rustington and East Preston area and reliably provide the journey to West Park CE Primary School. The council marked the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, and the selected supplier, Community Transport Sussex, is classified as an SME. This is evidence of a contract suited to a local or regional operator with the capacity to deliver consistent, scheduled school transport, rather than a large-scale general transport operation. Suppliers monitoring this buyer’s school transport needs can use the route and awarded scale as a point of comparison.
