Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a passenger taxi service for its school transport route from Bognor Regis to St Anthony’s School. The requirement was for transport for one passenger, with a four-seat vehicle specified. Delivery is associated with PO19 1RQ in West Sussex. This is a school transport service rather than a general taxi contract, so the relevant market is operators able to provide dependable, passenger-specific journeys on this route. The council is based in Chichester.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Lemon Tech Solutions Limited. The award was made on 4 August 2026, at a value of £62,716.50. The contract runs from 11 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. West Sussex County Council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender response deadline was 28 July 2026. The opportunity was a single route requirement, and the stated evaluation basis and published eligibility requirements are not detailed in the available process information. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises; the selected supplier is also identified as an SME.

This award shows that West Sussex County Council buys dedicated school transport for an individual pupil journey, with a small-capacity vehicle rather than a larger group service. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to organise reliable, repeat journeys between Bognor Regis and St Anthony’s School, provide a vehicle with four seats and support transport for one passenger. The award to an SME demonstrates that a smaller operator can deliver this type of council requirement. Suppliers whose operations suit a defined local route and school timetable are therefore better matched than providers focused on general taxi work or high-volume transport. The call-off route also indicates that familiarity with the relevant dynamic purchasing system would matter when competing for similar requirements from this buyer.»}⏹️, no extra space?
