## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured a school transport taxi service for Route 60125, carrying pupils from Horsham to St Mary’s School in Bexhill. The requirement is for one passenger assistant, a vehicle with four seats and a large boot, and the associated journey service. The work is a passenger transport service, classified under taxi services. Delivery is associated with Horsham, Bexhill and the school’s location in the Chichester area of West Sussex, with the recorded postcode PO19 1RQ. The council is the buying organisation and the service is part of its education transport arrangements. This is a single-route requirement rather than a broader fleet, facilities or general transport contract.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 30 July 2026 to ACE Taxis West Sussex Ltd. The award value is £52,631.64 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 6 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Bids closed at 12:00 on 23 July 2026. The council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The award is active and covers the full requirement for Route 60125. The published tender value and awarded value are both £52,631.64. The procurement was evaluated within the dynamic purchasing system call-off route, with the required vehicle capacity, large boot and passenger assistant forming the defined operational specification.

This award shows demand from West Sussex County Council for dedicated school transport on a defined route, using a small vehicle with four seats, substantial luggage capacity and a passenger assistant. A competitor preparing for similar council requirements would need to operate reliable taxi or private-hire passenger transport, provide a suitable vehicle and passenger-assistance provision, and manage regular school journeys between Horsham and Bexhill. Local operating knowledge, dependable scheduling, safeguarding-conscious staff and the capacity to maintain consistent service throughout a school transport contract would support credibility. Experience delivering contracted education transport would also help demonstrate that the operator can meet route-specific timings, pupil support needs and continuity expectations.
