Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a passenger transport service for its Route 60128, running from East Grinstead to Northease Manor. The requirement is for a four-seat taxi service, with no personal assistant accompanying passengers. This is a service contract rather than a goods or construction opportunity, and its CPV classification is 60120000 for taxi services. The council is the buyer and is based in Chichester, West Sussex. The procurement relates to delivery in the South East of England, with the buyer’s address in Chichester. Businesses relevant to this requirement are taxi and passenger transport operators able to provide a four-seat vehicle and operate the specified route without a personal assistant.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. West Sussex County Council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The submission deadline was 9 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to EASY ACCESSIBLE CARS LTD on 16 July 2026 for £33,340.04 including the published currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 23 July 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award is active. The procurement record identifies a four-seat taxi service on the East Grinstead to Northease Manor route, without a personal assistant. The published procurement information records the route requirement and call-off method as the basis for understanding how this contract was placed.

This award is useful market evidence for taxi and passenger transport operators serving West Sussex and the wider South East. It shows demand for a defined school or passenger route between East Grinstead and Northease Manor, using a small vehicle with four seats and no personal assistant. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need reliable day-to-day transport operations, a suitable four-seat taxi, and the ability to cover the route consistently. Experience of council passenger transport work and the operational capacity to meet scheduled journeys would strengthen a future offer. The procurement also shows that this buyer places such requirements through a dynamic purchasing system, so relevant operators would need to understand and qualify for that route before competing for comparable council work.
