Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured passenger transport for one passenger travelling on Route 65004 from Crawley to Central Education Ltd. The service is classified as taxi services and falls within the wider services category. The route indicates a requirement for reliable, individual transport rather than general vehicle hire or group transportation. Delivery is associated with Crawley and Central Education Ltd, with the council’s address in Chichester, West Sussex. The requirement is for a supplier able to provide and manage a passenger journey between the specified locations, using an appropriate taxi or private-hire vehicle and meeting the operational needs of a single passenger. The buyer is West Sussex County Council.

The procurement has been completed through a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract was awarded on 19 August 2026 to FLEETLINE CARS for £29,163.02 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 12 August 2026 at 12:00. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The stated suitability assessment marks the opportunity as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement was evaluated within the dynamic purchasing system call-off process; no separate quality or price weighting is stated.

For a supplier assessing future requirements from West Sussex County Council, this award demonstrates demand for dedicated, single-passenger education transport on a defined route between Crawley and an education provider. A credible competitor would need dependable taxi or private-hire transport operations, the capacity to provide consistent journeys for one passenger across a school-year-style service period, and effective route and timetable management. It would also need to demonstrate operational reliability, suitable vehicles, driver availability and the ability to work within a council dynamic purchasing system. The buyer’s assessment did not identify the requirement as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so larger or otherwise appropriately structured transport providers may be better placed to compete.
