Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council has bought a regular taxi service for Route 60135, carrying passengers from Bognor Regis to Educate U. The requirement is for a four-seat vehicle and one personal assistant, with a regular team. This is passenger transport work for a defined route, rather than a general taxi service. The route serves the Bognor Regis area; delivery information also identifies West Street, Chichester. The buying organisation is West Sussex County Council, based in Chichester. The service is intended to provide transport to the named destination, Educate U, with a personal assistant accompanying the journey.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. ACE Taxis West Sussex Ltd was selected through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, using a selective procedure. The award was made on 4 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £52,329.32. The contract runs from 11 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender deadline was 28 July 2026 at 12 noon. The requirement is presented as one route, with no separate lots described. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate. The published information does not describe the evaluation criteria, so the basis on which bids were compared cannot be summarised here.

This award shows demand from West Sussex County Council for a dedicated, regularly staffed passenger transport route between Bognor Regis and Educate U, including a four-seat vehicle and a personal assistant. A credible competitor for this requirement would need to provide reliable route-based taxi transport, organise a consistent team and supply an assistant as part of the service. The awarded supplier is an SME, demonstrating that the requirement was delivered by a small business rather than only a large transport operator. Experience coordinating scheduled journeys and matching vehicle and staffing provision to a specified route would be relevant when this council next buys the same service. The call-off route also makes experience operating within a dynamic purchasing system relevant.
