## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured taxi transport for its Billingshurst–More House School route, serving travel between Billingshurst and the school in Farnham. The requirement is for a four-seat vehicle, with no passenger assistant. This is a passenger transport service for a specific school journey, rather than a general taxi service. The council is based in Chichester, West Sussex. The procurement lists delivery locations in Chichester and South East England, while the route title identifies Billingshurst and Farnham as the journey endpoints.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to GATE CARS LTD. The award was made on 20 August 2026, following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The awarded contract value is £44,818.97. The contract period runs from 27 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender deadline was 13 August 2026. The requirement is presented as one route, for four seats and without a passenger assistant. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable to participate. The published procurement data does not state the evaluation criteria.

This award shows demand from West Sussex County Council for dedicated taxi transport on a school route linking Billingshurst with More House School in Farnham. A credible competitor would need to provide suitable passenger transport for a four-seat requirement and reliably serve the full journey between those locations. The council used a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so experience of supplying transport through a DPS route would be relevant. The award to GATE CARS LTD, identified as an SME, demonstrates that a small or medium-sized operator can deliver this type of requirement. The commercial opportunity is focused on a defined school journey, rather than a broad transport service; operators whose vehicles, operating area and service model fit that specific route are best placed to compete.
