## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured passenger transport services for Route 53509, serving travel from Pulborough to Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee School. The requirement is for a four-seat vehicle with one personal assistant (PA), indicating a small-scale, dedicated passenger transport arrangement rather than general taxi provision. The procurement is categorised as a taxi service within the wider services sector. Delivery is associated with Chichester, West Sussex, and the South East of England. Businesses relevant to this requirement are operators able to provide the specified vehicle capacity and a PA for the route, with the operational capability to serve journeys connected with the named locations and school.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. West Sussex County Council selected FORGE MOBILITY SERVICES LTD on 30 July 2026. The awarded value is £39,674.60. The contract runs from 6 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 23 July 2026 at 12:00. The procurement used a selective route, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, for a taxi service. It was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement covers one route and one service arrangement: four seats and one PA for Route 53509 between Pulborough and Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee School. The award is active.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for scheduled passenger transport using a four-seat vehicle and one personal assistant on a school-related route. It is relevant to small and medium-sized transport operators able to provide reliable taxi or passenger transport services, supply the required vehicle capacity and ensure an appropriate PA is available for delivery. Credible competitors would need to organise consistent route coverage between Pulborough and Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee School, manage passenger journeys safely and dependably, and work within a dynamic purchasing system call-off model. The requirement is a useful indicator of the council’s demand for smaller, route-specific transport services rather than only large fleet operations. Experience delivering regular contracted passenger journeys would support future competitiveness.
