Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council recently awarded a contract for taxi services under the tender titled "Route 9681 Horsham to St John's College - Car, no PA". This procurement process was conducted using a selective method, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, and it falls under the services industry category. The contract, valued at £25,425.80, covers the South East region of the UK, with a postal code of PO19 1RQ. Key dates include the contract period from 1st September 2025 to 31st July 2026. This tender has moved past the award stage, with SAFERIDE GATWICK LTD named as the successful supplier on 25th August 2025.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the taxi service sector, particularly those capable of providing reliable transport solutions within the specified contract timeframe and geographic location. Although it's awarded to SAFERIDE GATWICK LTD, suppliers capable of participating in dynamic purchasing systems should seek to engage similarly structured opportunities in the future to expand their reach. Companies with experience in public sector contracts, and those that can meet the stringent criteria set by West Sussex County Council, would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders in this sector.
