Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured passenger transport by taxi for WSCC Route 3629, carrying one passenger and one passenger assistant between Hassocks and Oat Hall Community College. The requirement is a dedicated route service rather than general taxi provision, with the journey associated with the college route and delivery in the Chichester area. The procurement is categorised as taxi services and falls within the broader services category. It is relevant to taxi operators, passenger transport providers and specialist school transport businesses able to provide reliable scheduled journeys for a very small passenger load, including coordination with a passenger assistant and the specified education destination.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender closed for submissions at 12:00 on 17 June 2026, and the contract was awarded on 24 June 2026 to FAB MOBILITY LTD. The awarded value is £35,106.36 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 July 2027. West Sussex County Council is the buyer. The award is active and covers the single route requirement for one passenger and one passenger assistant. The recorded procurement category is services, with taxi services identified as the specific classification. The process was not reserved as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates recurring council demand for contracted school and college transport on a defined route, delivered by a small passenger transport operator. A competitor seeking similar work from West Sussex County Council would need to provide dependable taxi or passenger transport operations, maintain consistent performance across scheduled journeys, and accommodate a passenger assistant alongside the passenger. Local knowledge of the Hassocks, Chichester and Oat Hall Community College journey would support practical delivery, while the ability to commit a suitable vehicle and driver to a regular education route would be important. Providers already operating through, or able to qualify for, the council’s dynamic purchasing system would understand the route to market used for this requirement.
