Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a taxi service for its “Learn with Confidence” route from Easebourne. The requirement is for transport with four seats for one passenger, supporting a journey associated with the council’s learning service. The listed delivery location is Chichester, with the route described as Easebourne to Learn with Confidence. This is a passenger transport service rather than a purchase of vehicles or general education provision.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to AERO MOBILITY CARS LTD. The award was made on 11 August 2026, following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract runs from 18 August 2026 to 31 July 2027 and is valued at £29,106.02. The earlier tender submission deadline was 4 August 2026. The competition was for a single route and passenger requirement; the published information does not set out evaluation criteria beyond the procurement route and method.

This award shows demand from West Sussex County Council for a small-scale, dedicated taxi journey supporting its Learn with Confidence service. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide suitable passenger transport for the specified route and meet the practical needs of a single passenger, using a vehicle with the required seating capacity. The contract was awarded through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers seeking comparable council work should be positioned to participate through that route. The selected supplier was identified as an SME, indicating that a smaller operator can deliver this requirement. The service is tightly defined around one journey; relevant experience in dependable, tailored passenger transport would be commercially pertinent.
