Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a four-seat taxi service, with no passenger assistant, for Route 10004 transporting passengers from Bognor Regis to Conifers House School in Easebourne. This is a local passenger transport service, rather than a general taxi requirement, and is intended to provide the specified journey to the school. The work is associated with West Sussex, with Bognor Regis and Easebourne identified as the route’s locations. The council is the buyer and is based in Chichester. The requirement is classified as a service and concerns taxi services (CPV 60120000).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to LEMON TECH SOLUTIONS LIMITED. West Sussex County Council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The award was made on 20 August 2026 for £38,910.72. The contract period runs from 27 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender deadline was 13 August 2026 at 12:00. The requirement is for one four-seat route service; no lots are identified. The procurement was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The available details identify the service and route but do not set out the evaluation criteria or further supplier eligibility requirements.

For suppliers tracking this buyer’s school transport requirements, this award demonstrates demand for a small-capacity taxi service on a defined journey between Bognor Regis and Conifers House School in Easebourne. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to provide suitable passenger transport capacity for four seats and deliver the specified school journey reliably. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, and the council used a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so familiarity with qualifying for and responding through that route would be relevant. The requirement is focused on this route and vehicle capacity, rather than a broad transport operation; operators able to serve the locations and meet the journey’s practical requirements are the closest fit. The passenger assistant role is excluded from this particular service.
