Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of taxi services, specifically a WMC Saloon taxi, valued at £49,614.70 under a selective procurement method. This process involved a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system within the services category, specifically coded under CPV 60120000. The project is situated in the South East region of the United Kingdom, with the council headquartered in Chichester. Key dates included the tender period end on 15 August 2025, and the contract period spanned from 1 September 2025 to 31 July 2026, culminating in the award published on 16 February 2026.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for local transportation service providers, particularly those capable of fulfilling dynamic and flexible contract terms inherent in selective procurement processes. Businesses specialising in taxi services, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), could benefit from participating in such contracts. However, the final award was not designated to SMEs or VCSEs, indicating potential competitiveness for larger firms. MY CARS SUSSEX LTD, identified as an SME, has already been awarded this contract, illustrating the competitive landscape for similar companies aiming to secure future public procurement opportunities.
