Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a taxi service for one passenger, accompanied by one personal assistant, on route 65009 between Haywards Heath and Team Domenica. The journey requirement serves a single passenger rather than a general transport service. The council is based in Chichester, and the route names Haywards Heath and Team Domenica; the associated delivery address is in Chichester. The work falls within passenger taxi transport services. This is an individual route requirement, so suppliers whose business covers scheduled, passenger-specific journeys and can provide the required vehicle and passenger assistance are the most relevant. The award identifies ABC CARS as the selected provider.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to ABC CARS. West Sussex County Council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The award was made on 3 September 2026. The awarded value is £52,238.88. The contract period runs from 10 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender deadline was 27 August 2026. The requirement was for one passenger and one personal assistant on the Haywards Heath to Team Domenica route. The procurement was not divided into lots. The published data records the route and service scope but does not set out specific evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements beyond the route requirement.

This award demonstrates a defined need for passenger-specific taxi transport commissioned by West Sussex County Council, with personal-assistant accompaniment and a named journey between Haywards Heath and Team Domenica. ABC CARS, identified as a small business, was selected through a call-off from the council’s dynamic purchasing system. For a competitor to be credible when this same requirement returns to market, it would need to be able to deliver the specified journey reliably for one passenger and accommodate the accompanying personal assistant. The scale is a single-route, single-passenger service rather than a large fleet contract. Suppliers with suitable local coverage and the operational capacity to provide consistent, supported transport would be best aligned with this buyer’s demonstrated requirement.
