Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council has procured a passenger transport service on route 60131, carrying one passenger between Worthing and St John’s College in a six-seat multipurpose vehicle. The requirement is for a single route rather than a broader transport network. The destination is associated with postcode PO19 1RQ in Chichester, while Worthing is named as the journey origin. The work falls within passenger taxi and vehicle transport services. The council is the buyer, and delivery is in West Sussex. The service is intended to provide transport for one passenger on the specified journey; the procurement does not describe additional routes or passengers.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. West Sussex County Council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. R GSM Services Ltd was selected, with an award value of £68,547.65. The award date was 4 August 2026, and the contract period runs from 11 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender deadline was 28 July 2026 at 12:00. The requirement covers one route and one passenger, using a six-seat MPV. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published information gives no evaluation criteria or further eligibility conditions beyond that suitability indication.

This award demonstrates demand from West Sussex County Council for a dedicated, single-passenger journey between Worthing and St John’s College using a six-seat MPV. A credible competitor for this specific requirement would need to provide a suitable vehicle and reliably deliver the required passenger journey over the contract period. The selected supplier, R GSM Services Ltd, is identified as an SME, and the procurement was made through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer should therefore be positioned to operate within that purchasing route and deliver a focused passenger transport service in West Sussex. The contract’s single route and passenger requirement indicates a modest, targeted operation rather than a large multi-route service.
