Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured taxi transport on route 10008, carrying passengers from Selsey and Chichester to Conifers House School in Easebourne. This is a passenger transport service, rather than a purchase of vehicles or general taxi provision. The delivery area is associated with Chichester and the route’s named origin and destination towns. The requirement is defined by this school journey, so it is most relevant to operators able to provide reliable passenger transport between Selsey and Chichester and the school in Easebourne.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to PHOENIX CARS SUSSEX LTD. The award was made on 17 August 2026, for £81,450.61. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. West Sussex County Council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender’s stated estimated value was also £81,450.61. The submission deadline was 10 August 2026. The procurement was categorised as a service and considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No evaluation criteria or separate lots are stated in the available procurement information.

This award shows a defined, school-focused demand for taxi transport from Selsey and Chichester to Conifers House School in Easebourne. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to demonstrate the ability to operate the named journey reliably, coordinate transport from its two origin areas and serve the school destination. The route suits an operator with practical local coverage and capacity for a dedicated school transport commitment, rather than a supplier whose offer is limited to unrelated taxi journeys. The buyer procured the service through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so familiarity with that route to market would be relevant. The award went to a local taxi operator, indicating that a specialist transport business can meet the requirement.
