Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a taxi service for Route 30011, transporting passengers from Horsham to Woodlands Meed College. The requirement is for an MPV identified as 5+1 passenger capacity, providing a dedicated route service rather than a general taxi arrangement. The buying organisation is West Sussex County Council, based in Chichester. The procurement is categorised as a service and classified under taxi services. The route connects Horsham with Woodlands Meed College, so relevant providers would need to operate in or around these locations and be able to deliver the specified journey consistently. The requirement is specific to one named route and one vehicle arrangement.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. West Sussex County Council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 23 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to PRIMERIDE TRANSPORT SERVICES LTD on 30 July 2026 for £54,612.96. The contract period runs from 6 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The recorded tender and award values are the same. The opportunity was assessed through the purchasing system’s selective call-off process. The contract covers the single Route 30011 requirement between Horsham and Woodlands Meed College, with the awarded supplier responsible for the specified taxi service.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement shows a defined market for council-managed passenger transport on education-related routes in West Sussex. A credible competitor would need to provide an MPV matching the specified 5+1 arrangement, operate reliably between Horsham and Woodlands Meed College, and meet the operational requirements for a consistent scheduled route service. Experience of supplying taxi or passenger transport services to a public-sector buyer would be relevant, together with the capacity to commit a suitable vehicle and driver resource for the full service period. The route was placed through a dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers seeking similar work would need to understand and qualify for that route to market.
