Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the "WSCC Route 8303 - SEND Worthing to Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee" project. This contract involves taxi services within the South East region of the United Kingdom, aimed at providing specialised transport services. The procurement was carried out using a selective method, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender stage was concluded with the contract being awarded on 25th August 2025, and the service period is set from 1st September 2025 to 31st July 2027. With a total contract value of £44,696.36, this procurement falls under the services category as per the CPV classification 60120000. The award phase is now active, marking the transition of the project to its implementation phase.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for those in the transportation and service delivery sectors. Given that the contract was awarded to a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME), Forge Mobility Services Ltd, it showcases the realistic potential for SMEs to engage successfully in public sector contracts. Businesses specialising in taxi and transport services, particularly those capable of meeting specific local authority requirements in the South East, are well-suited to compete in similar tenders. Even though this particular process has concluded, future dynamic purchasing system call-off opportunities may arise, offering further opportunities for growth and engagement in public procurement markets.
