Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured taxi transport on Route 7197 to Cornfield. The requirement is for a passenger taxi service, delivered to the Cornfield route in West Sussex; the listed address is in Chichester. This is a transport service rather than a purchase of vehicles. The route-specific description identifies the journey but does not describe passenger numbers, journey frequency or any further operating arrangements. The service forms part of the council’s transport requirements and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Suppliers whose business includes providing taxi services for defined routes are the closest fit.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to LEMON TECH SOLUTIONS LIMITED. The award was made on 7 August 2026, for £47,940. The contract period runs from 14 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The council used a selective process as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The submission deadline was 31 July 2026 at 12:00. The published procurement estimate and the awarded value are both £47,940. The requirement was treated as a services procurement, with small and medium-sized businesses considered suitable. The data does not set out evaluation criteria beyond the procurement route, so the basis on which bids were compared cannot be described further.

This award shows that West Sussex County Council buys route-specific taxi transport through call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system, and that the requirement was delivered by a small or medium-sized supplier. A competitor seeking to serve a similar Cornfield route would need to provide dependable taxi transport and be able to operate within the council’s route-based service requirement. The commercial scale is a single-route service rather than a broad transport contract. The award gives a concrete example of the type of taxi work the council procures and the route it uses to source it. The recorded requirement does not state passenger volumes, vehicle specifications, driver qualifications or service performance measures, so there is no supported basis to claim those as particular conditions for competing.
