Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a taxi service for Route 10007, carrying passengers from Storrington and Pulborough to Conifers House School in Easebourne. The requirement is a specific school transport route rather than a general taxi service. The buyer is based in Chichester, West Sussex, and the route serves locations in the county.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to M J Car Hire Ltd. The council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The award was made on 4 August 2026, for £31,254.17. The contract period runs from 11 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender deadline was 28 July 2026. The procurement was treated as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The published information identifies one route and one supplier; it does not set out the evaluation criteria.

This award demonstrates demand from West Sussex County Council for dedicated taxi transport between named towns and a school in Easebourne. A credible competitor for this specific requirement would need to provide reliable passenger transport on the Storrington and Pulborough to Conifers House School route, with the capacity to meet the route’s operational needs throughout the school transport contract. The council used a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so familiarity with that route to market would be relevant. The opportunity was considered suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, and a local operator may be well placed to serve the route. The award gives an indication of the service and supplier profile that met this buyer’s requirement.
