Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council buys a taxi service for Route 4754, carrying one passenger from Haywards Heath to the East Campus of GB Met. The route is specified as a four-seat vehicle, so the requirement is a single-passenger journey rather than a general taxi fleet service. The council is based in Chichester, and delivery is associated with Haywards Heath and the GB Met East Campus in the South East of England. This is a passenger transport service, specifically taxi provision, for a defined route. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The stated delivery information also includes a Chichester postcode, alongside the South East region, while the route title identifies Haywards Heath and the destination campus.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to HELLO TAXIS. West Sussex County Council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The award was made on 3 September 2026. The awarded value is £25,317.01. The contract period runs from 10 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 27 August 2026 at 12:00. The stated requirement is one passenger on the Haywards Heath–GB Met East Campus route, using a four-seat vehicle. The process identifies the procurement as a service and names taxi services as its classification. No lots or evaluation criteria are detailed in the published process information.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers will need to provide reliable taxi transport for a single passenger on the defined route between Haywards Heath and GB Met’s East Campus, using a vehicle with four seats. The award demonstrates that West Sussex County Council buys route-specific passenger transport through call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system, and that an SME supplier has secured the work. Operators already equipped to handle individual passenger journeys and deliver dependable service on a set route are well aligned with the demonstrated requirement. The contract’s defined route and passenger count point to a focused transport operation rather than a broad fleet service. Suppliers should be able to meet the council’s requirements for this route and the purchasing arrangements of its dynamic purchasing system.
