Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by West Sussex County Council was centred around the contract titled "590 Albourne - Hassocks" within the public road transport services category. This selective procurement involved a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, aimed at servicing locations in the South East of the United Kingdom. Key dates included the tender period end on 18th March 2026 and the contract period starting on 1st April 2026, concluding on 31st March 2031. The procurement reached the award stage, with the notice published on 28th April 2026, and West Sussex County Council, located in Chichester, acting as the buyer.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses particularly specialising in public transport services, as it involves a five-year contract valued at £65,424.60. Although the procurement was selective, organisations capable of delivering reliable road transport services would benefit from getting involved in future similar tenders. Despite not being suited for SMEs or VCSEs in this instance, larger businesses with the capability to meet dynamic purchasing system requirements could significantly grow their presence in the South East transport sector.
