Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for transportation services between East Grinstead and Haywards Heath, valued at £28,241.32, was managed by West Sussex County Council, aimed at securing taxi services. As part of the services industry, this procurement was awarded on 25th August 2025 as per the data published on 19th February 2026. The procurement method employed was selective, using a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract period extends from 1st September 2025 to 31st July 2026, covering locations in the South East of the United Kingdom, specifically with postal region PO19 1RQ. The tendering stage of the procurement is complete, having entered the award phase for a supplier.

Opportunities arising from this contract can benefit businesses specialising in taxi services, with AERO MOBILITY CARS LTD being the successful supplier. As this was not targeted towards SMEs or Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSE), larger and established transportation firms have a better footing in such selective procurement processes. The use of a dynamic purchasing system implies regular opportunities for qualified vendors to gain a position as preferred suppliers within the council's transportation framework. It presents substantial potential for business growth by fostering long-term relationships and expansion within public sector contracts.
