Summary of the contracting process

In this recently completed procurement process, West Sussex County Council, based in Chichester, sought taxi services under the title "Haslemere to Horsham -Car, 1xPA." Falling under the industry category of taxi services, the contract pertains to the delivery of services within the South East region of the United Kingdom. This process was conducted using a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Key dates included the tender period ending on 15 August 2025, followed by the contract period spanning from 1 September 2025 to 31 July 2026. The award was officially published on 13 February 2026, marking the active status of the contract with ELITE CARS GATWICK LTD.

This tender presents notable opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses providing local transportation services, although it is not specifically suitable for SMEs or VCSE organisations. Taxi service providers looking to expand their operations in the South East region may find this contract beneficial, given its established scope and budget of £35,066.40. The involvement of a dynamic purchasing system suggests that companies already engaged in similar frameworks could leverage their status to secure contracts like this one, thus enhancing their portfolio within public sector engagements.
