Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a passenger transport service for its Route 99984 journey from Worthing to Laurels Day Centre. The service is designed for a vehicle with 12 seats, space for one personal assistant and provision for one wheelchair. This is a transport service rather than a vehicle supply or infrastructure project, classified under taxi services (CPV 60120000). Delivery is associated with Worthing, Laurels Day Centre and the council’s Chichester address in West Sussex. The requirement falls within public-sector passenger transport and accessible assisted travel. It may suit operators providing scheduled community, education or social-care transport, particularly those able to accommodate wheelchair users and accompanying support staff.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Community Transport Sussex. West Sussex County Council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The award was made on 30 July 2026 for £41,020.98 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 6 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 23 July 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was evaluated as a service requirement with suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises. There is one recorded award and one supplier. The outcome concerns the full Route 99984 requirement: transport between Worthing and Laurels Day Centre using a 12-seat arrangement with one personal assistant place and wheelchair capacity.

This award shows a defined requirement for reliable, accessible passenger transport serving a day-centre route in West Sussex. A credible competitor would need the operational capacity to provide a 12-seat vehicle, accommodate one wheelchair safely and carry one personal assistant, while delivering consistent scheduled journeys for a public-sector buyer. Relevant strengths include experience in community or assisted transport, suitable accessible vehicles, competent drivers and robust arrangements for passenger safety, safeguarding, attendance and service continuity. The requirement was suitable for an SME and was placed through a dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers with the necessary transport capability and an ability to meet framework or DPS participation requirements would be well placed for comparable council work when this requirement next returns to the market.
