Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council has recently completed a procurement process for taxi services, specifically for transport between Southwater and St Piers Lingfield in Surrey. The tender, classified under the CPV code 60120000, was initiated using a selective procurement method through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract period spans from 1st September 2025 to 31st July 2026, with the award being finalised on 22nd August 2025. Though SMEs and VCSEs were deemed unsuitable for this contract, the emphasis was placed on services within the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This procurement process offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses operating within the domestic transport service sector, especially those with capabilities to service regional routes. Businesses like SAFEWAY CARS CRAWLEY, which successfully secured the contract, are ideally positioned to benefit from such opportunities. The contract, valued at £30,020 GBP, shows potential for established taxi service providers to expand their service offerings and strengthen their relationship with regional councils, thus ensuring steady business growth through public procurement engagements.
