Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a taxi service for Route 70022, carrying pupils from Crawley to Muntham House Primary School. The stated requirement is for four passenger seats and one passenger assistant. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle purchase, with delivery associated with Crawley and Muntham House. The buying organisation is West Sussex County Council, based in Chichester. The route and passenger-assistant requirement define the core work: providing suitable transport for the school journey and an accompanying assistant. The service falls within taxi and passenger transport work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to AA Mobility Services Ltd. The award was made on 12 August 2026, following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The estimated tender value and awarded contract value are both £51,693.65. The contract period runs from 19 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The submission deadline was 5 August 2026 at 12:00. The stated requirement covers one route, with four seats and one passenger assistant. The opportunity was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published procurement information does not state separate evaluation criteria beyond the process route.

This award demonstrates demand from West Sussex County Council for a defined school transport service between Crawley and Muntham House Primary School, including capacity for four passengers and provision of one passenger assistant. A credible competitor for this specific requirement would need to deliver the route reliably, provide an appropriately sized passenger vehicle and supply an assistant for the journey. The award went to a small or medium-sized supplier, showing that a smaller operator was able to fulfil the requirement. Firms already providing taxi or school passenger transport services, with the operational capacity to cover this journey and staffing arrangements for an accompanying assistant, are the closest fit when this same requirement returns to the market.
