Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council commissioned a taxi service for Route 20041, carrying pupils from Crawley to Jigsaw School. The stated requirement is for four seats and one personal assistant (PA). This is passenger transport rather than a general taxi service: the supplier must provide the specified route and accommodate the accompanying PA. The delivery location information identifies Crawley and the South East of England; the council is based in Chichester. The service is described as transport to the school, with no further route, journey frequency or operating arrangements set out in the procurement details.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. West Sussex County Council selected AA Mobility Services Ltd. The award date was 31 August 2026, and the contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The awarded value is £57,621.55. The council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The original submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was treated as a single route, with four seats and one PA. The stated suitability assessment marks the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are set out in the procurement information.

This award demonstrates a defined school transport requirement from West Sussex County Council: a Crawley-to-Jigsaw School route with capacity for four passengers and an accompanying PA. AA Mobility Services Ltd was selected through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so relevant experience supplying passenger transport through this route to market would help a competitor demonstrate credibility. Suppliers should be able to provide the specified seating capacity and accommodate the PA while delivering the required school journey. The procurement is marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, signalling that the buyer did not identify those business types as suitable for this requirement. The award provides a concrete example of the council’s route-specific transport purchasing and the scale of service delivered.
