Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council has completed its procurement process for taxi services involving the transportation route from Crawley to Littlehampton using an 8-seater accessible minibus. The service falls under the industry category of "Taxi services" and covers the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is at the award phase, as indicated by the awarding date on 22nd August 2025. The contract period is set from 1st September 2025 to 31st July 2026, with the previous tender period ending on 15th August 2025. The procurement method employed was "selective," which involved a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, ensuring a targeted approach to supplier selection.

This tender presents growth opportunities primarily for businesses specialising in transportation services, particularly those capable of providing accessible minibuses equipped for taxi services. Although the suitability criteria do not specifically favour small or micro enterprises, companies with expertise in dynamic purchasing systems might find competitive advantage. The award was granted to ANNA TRAVEL & SCHOOL SERVICES LTD, suggesting that businesses with established service capabilities and local presence within the South East may have favourable prospects in similar procurement opportunities from West Sussex County Council. Engaging in this contract could enhance business visibility and credibility within the sector, potentially opening doors to further public procurement opportunities.
