Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured taxi transport on route 7199 from Bognor Regis to Littlegreen Academy, with capacity for four seats and one passenger assistant. The service is for a specific school journey rather than general taxi provision. The work is delivered between the named locations in West Sussex.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to ACE TAXIS. The award date was 17 August 2026, and the contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The awarded value is £79,503.60. The council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 10 August 2026. The requirement is presented as a single route, with no separate lots described.

This award demonstrates demand from West Sussex County Council for dedicated taxi transport on a school route, including four-seat capacity and a passenger assistant. A credible competitor would need to provide this specific combination of vehicle capacity and passenger support, and deliver journeys between Bognor Regis and Littlegreen Academy. The council identified the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the selected supplier, ACE TAXIS, is an SME. Taxi firms with the operational capacity to cover this route and provide an assistant are therefore relevant comparators for this buyer’s requirement.
