Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council has awarded a contract for taxi services covering the route from Clapham to Durrington High School. This procurement process was conducted using the selective method through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system and has now been completed. The contract, valued at £27,389.97, spans from 1st September 2025 to 31st July 2027. The procurement falls under the services category and is geographically focused on the South East of the United Kingdom, specifically with delivery addresses in the Chichester area, postal code PO19 1RQ.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in transportation and logistics, particularly those offering taxi services. While this procurement was awarded to an SME—LEMON TECH SOLUTIONS LIMITED—it highlights the potential for similar entities to secure contracts with local councils by leveraging dynamic purchasing systems. Businesses with capabilities in flexible, reliable transport services, particularly those familiar with school transport logistics in the South East region, would be well-positioned to compete for future tenders of this kind.
