Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured passenger transport for Route 70020, a scheduled journey from Horsham to Minerva May School. The service requires a five-seat multipurpose vehicle (MPV) to carry two passengers. This is a local taxi and school transport service, classified under CPV 60120000. The work is associated with Chichester, West Sussex, including the council’s address at West Street, Chichester, and a delivery postcode of PO19 1RQ. The procurement is for services rather than goods or construction works. It is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to smaller taxi operators, private-hire companies and specialist passenger transport providers with an appropriate vehicle and the ability to operate the specified school route.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. West Sussex County Council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 23 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 30 July 2026 to AERO MOBILITY CARS LTD for £26,025.06 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 6 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The awarded requirement covers one route: Route 70020 between Horsham and Minerva May School, using a five-seat MPV for two passengers. The award is active, and the tender itself is recorded as complete. The published procurement category is passenger taxi services.

This award shows a defined requirement for scheduled home-to-school or education-related passenger transport using a small MPV and carrying a limited number of passengers. A credible competitor for similar work would need access to a suitable five-seat vehicle, reliable availability for the route, and the operational discipline to provide consistent journeys between Horsham and Minerva May School. Local knowledge of West Sussex and the ability to serve the Chichester area would be useful. The opportunity is relevant to SME taxi operators, private-hire businesses and specialist school transport providers already equipped for regular passenger journeys. Experience delivering dependable, safeguarding-conscious transport would strengthen a future response, although the published requirement does not set out specific accreditations.
