## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured a passenger taxi service for a school journey from Bognor Regis to New Barn School. The route requires a four-seat vehicle, one passenger assistant and EpiPen-trained provision. The service is for transporting pupils between the named locations. The buyer is West Sussex County Council, based in Chichester, and delivery is on the Bognor Regis–New Barn School route in West Sussex. This is a transport services requirement, specifically taxi services (CPV 60120000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to WESTERN CARS PRIVATE HIRE LTD. The award date was 19 August 2026, and the contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The awarded value is £72,698.69. The council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 12 August 2026 at 12:00. The requirement is a single school transport route, with a four-seat vehicle, one passenger assistant and EpiPen training. The stated evaluation basis and eligibility requirements are not detailed in the published process information.

This award shows demand from West Sussex County Council for a dedicated school taxi route with passenger-assistant support and EpiPen-trained provision. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need to provide suitable four-seat transport, dependable coverage between Bognor Regis and New Barn School, and a passenger assistant able to meet the stated training requirement. The selected supplier is identified as a small or medium-sized business, while the procurement marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; that distinction is worth noting when assessing the buyer’s stated market positioning against the supplier selected. Experience coordinating school journeys and consistently delivering safe, reliable passenger transport would be directly relevant to this buyer’s requirement.
