Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured taxi services for WSCC Route 9684. The requirement is categorised as passenger taxi transport and is a service rather than a goods or construction contract. Delivery is associated with the council’s base in Chichester, West Sussex, and the wider South East of England. The procurement identifies the route by its council reference, but does not provide further operational detail about passenger numbers, journey patterns, vehicle types or accessibility requirements. The relevant business is therefore a taxi or private-hire operator able to provide the required route service for West Sussex County Council, rather than a general transport infrastructure or vehicle supply business.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. West Sussex County Council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 13 April 2026 at 12:00. The award was made on 20 April 2026 to CROWN CARS LTD, with an awarded value of £28,727.06 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 27 April 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender’s estimated value is also £28,727.06. The published information records the service category and procurement route, but does not set out award weightings or a separate evaluation formula.

This award provides a clear example of demand from West Sussex County Council for route-based taxi services procured through its dynamic purchasing system. A credible future supplier would need to operate taxi or private-hire transport services, understand council call-off procedures and be able to deliver reliably in Chichester, West Sussex and the wider South East. The selected supplier, CROWN CARS LTD, is recorded as an SME, although the opportunity itself was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. Businesses assessing similar council work should therefore focus on dependable operational delivery, sufficient vehicle and driver capacity for the route, and the ability to work within a dynamic purchasing system.
