Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council has procured a passenger transport service for one passenger travelling from Crawley to Ingfield Manor. The journey is to be provided using a minibus with eight seats; the requirement is for a single passenger, not a general bus service. This is taxi and private-hire transport work, delivered on the Crawley–Ingfield Manor route in West Sussex. The council, based in Chichester, is the buyer. The requirement is suited to small and medium-sized businesses, and is specifically a passenger journey service rather than a wider transport or fleet contract.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to AERO MOBILITY CARS LTD. The award was made on 13 August 2026, at a value of £63,923.30. The contract period runs from 20 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The original tender deadline was 6 August 2026 at noon. The published details identify one route and one passenger, served by a minibus with eight seats. The tender was classed as a service and suitable for SMEs. No evaluation criteria are reported in the available process details.

This award shows that West Sussex County Council buys dedicated, single-passenger transport between Crawley and Ingfield Manor, using an eight-seat minibus. A future competitor would need to be able to deliver reliable, appropriately sized passenger transport for this specific route and accommodate the passenger’s journey requirements. The selected provider, AERO MOBILITY CARS LTD, is recorded as an SME, indicating that a small supplier was able to secure the work. The council used a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers seeking similar work would need to be positioned to compete through that route. The award provides a concrete example of the council’s requirement: a defined route and passenger need, rather than a broad local transport service.
