Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a taxi service for Route 53510, transporting passengers from Worthing to Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee School. The requirement was for a vehicle with four seats and no passenger assistant. The work is passenger transport, specifically taxi services (CPV 60120000), with delivery in Worthing and the Chichester area of West Sussex. This is a small, defined route rather than a broad transport service: suppliers would need to provide suitable vehicle capacity and cover the stated journey. The council is the buyer and the service is intended to support travel to the named school.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to LEMON TECH SOLUTIONS LIMITED. The award was made on 6 August 2026 for £25,167.53. The contract runs from 13 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The estimated tender value was also £25,167.53. The council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 30 July 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was a single route, with a four-seat vehicle and no passenger assistant. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable to compete. Evaluation criteria are not detailed in the process information.

This award demonstrates a specific requirement from West Sussex County Council for a small-capacity taxi service to transport passengers between Worthing and Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee School. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to operate a suitable four-seat vehicle and reliably cover the route, while delivering the service without a passenger assistant. The contract was awarded through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers seeking similar council work would need to be positioned to participate in that route to market. The award to a small business shows that a smaller transport operator can deliver this defined service. The commercial fit is strongest for providers able to manage a focused school journey rather than a larger passenger transport operation.
