## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured passenger taxi services for SEND transport on Route 7374, serving Billingshurst and two Horsham pickup areas to Burstow Park School. The requirement is to provide transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities between their homes or collection points and the school. The work is classified as taxi services and falls within the services category. Delivery is associated with West Sussex, including Billingshurst, Horsham and Burstow Park School, with the council based in Chichester. This is a council-operated education transport requirement rather than a general taxi contract, so it is relevant to operators able to provide planned school journeys along a defined route and serve the stated locations.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract was awarded to ELITE CARS GATWICK LTD on 25 August 2025 for £28,689.19 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 September 2025 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 18 August 2025 at 12:00. The published estimated tender value was also £28,689.19. The record identifies the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It does not state a separate quality or price weighting; the award was made through the dynamic purchasing system call-off route. The awarded supplier is an SME based in Crawley.

For competing operators, this award demonstrates a defined local demand for recurring SEND school transport from West Sussex County Council, delivered through a dynamic purchasing system call-off. A credible future supplier would need to operate taxi or comparable passenger transport services, cover Billingshurst, Horsham, Crawley-area routes and Burstow Park School, and reliably provide scheduled journeys for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. The requirement is suitable for an SME, indicating that a smaller focused operator can be relevant where it has the vehicles, drivers and operational capacity to sustain a dedicated school route. Experience delivering dependable education or assisted passenger transport would help demonstrate fit when this type of council requirement returns to market.
