The stated tender value and awarded contract value are both £81,181.45. The award date was 2 September 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender deadline was 26 August 2026. The data identifies no evaluation criteria.

This award shows demand from West Sussex County Council for a defined school transport route, with capacity for 12 passengers and provision for one passenger assistant. The council marked the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. Suppliers considering similar work for this buyer would need to be able to provide passenger transport on the Littlehampton-to-Palatine School journey and accommodate the specified capacity and assistant requirement. The work was procured as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so familiarity with competing through that route would be relevant.
