Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured taxi transport for two passengers travelling from Haywards Heath to Ashdown School, on route 10014. The requirement is a school transport service, with no personal assistant included. It is a single route serving the named journey, rather than a general taxi service. The buyer is based in Chichester, West Sussex; the journey starts in Haywards Heath and ends at Ashdown School. The procurement is categorised as a service and falls within taxi services (CPV 60120000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to INFINITY CABS TRANSPORT SERVICES LTD. The award was made on 27 August 2026. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The awarded contract value is £29,429.50. The council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 20 August 2026 at 12:00. The requirement covers one route, for two passengers, and the published suitability information indicates it was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises but not voluntary, community and social enterprises. The available evaluation information does not set out a specific scoring basis.

This award demonstrates demand from West Sussex County Council for a dedicated taxi service transporting two passengers on a school journey between Haywards Heath and Ashdown School, without a personal assistant. A credible competitor for this specific requirement would need to provide reliable passenger transport for the route and meet the operational needs of school travel. The successful supplier was a transport services company, showing that a specialist local taxi operator can win this type of council work. The call-off route was the council’s dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers seeking similar work from this buyer would need to be positioned to compete through that system. The opportunity’s scale is a single, defined school route rather than a broad transport network.
