Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a taxi service for Route 7405, carrying pupils from Billingshurst to Aurora Redehall School. The requirement is for four passenger seats, with no passenger assistant, and includes a booster seat. This is a school transport route rather than a general taxi service, requiring journeys to and from the named school. The service is associated with Billingshurst and Aurora Redehall School in West Sussex. The buyer is West Sussex County Council, based in Chichester. The procurement is categorised as a service and concerns taxi transport. The route-specific passenger capacity and booster-seat requirement are central to understanding the work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to ACTIVE CAB LTD. The award was made on 19 August 2026 for £28,514.48. The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 12 August 2026 at 12:00. The requirement is presented as a single route, for four seats with no passenger assistant and a booster seat. The stated evaluation basis and the participation requirements are not described in the published procurement data.

This award shows a defined requirement for school taxi transport on a Billingshurst–Aurora Redehall School route, with capacity for four passengers, no passenger assistant and a booster seat. A credible competitor when this requirement returns to market would need to operate suitable passenger transport for school journeys and be able to meet the route’s seating and booster-seat specification. The selected supplier was identified as an SME, and the procurement was placed through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so relevant suppliers would need to be positioned to compete through that route. The opportunity is route-specific and modest in scale, making it most relevant to taxi and passenger transport operators able to deliver reliable school transport in the area.
