Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by West Sussex County Council involves the provision of taxi services for Route 3523, connecting Lancing and Brighton to Woodlands Meed School. This selective procurement, executed as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, falls under the industry category of services, specifically taxi services. The procurement stage has reached the award phase, with the contract awarded to BRIGHTON TAXI 4U LTD. The award was announced on 22nd August 2025, with the contract period spanning from 1st September 2025 to 31st July 2026. The contract is valued at £40,192.60 and the services will operate within the South East region of the United Kingdom, particularly in Chichester, with a postal code of PO19 1RQ.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, primarily for established taxi service providers capable of operating in dynamic purchasing systems.
