## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured a passenger transport service for one passenger travelling on Route 70016 between Chichester and Courtlands School. The requirement includes one passenger assistant, so the service covers both the journey and an accompanying support role. It is a taxi service within the wider category of passenger transport services. Delivery is centred on Chichester and Courtlands School in West Sussex, with the recorded postcode PO19 1RQ. The council is the buying organisation. This is a single-route, individual-passenger requirement rather than a general fleet, school transport or multiple-route package, and is most relevant to operators able to provide reliable, appropriately supported journeys on the specified route.

The procurement has been awarded. West Sussex County Council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract was awarded to PHOENIX CARS SUSSEX LTD on 29 July 2026 for £51,571.08 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 5 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 22 July 2026 at 12:00. The tender was classified as a taxi service and the procurement category was services. The award is active, and the procurement status is complete. The published requirement covered one passenger and one passenger assistant on the Chichester to Courtlands School route.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need to operate taxi or private-hire passenger transport and provide dependable school journeys for an individual passenger. They would need to plan and deliver the specified route consistently, coordinate a passenger assistant, and maintain sufficient vehicle and driver availability for the service period. The award indicates that the council uses a dynamic purchasing system call-off route for this type of transport, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need to understand and meet the system’s qualification and participation requirements before competing. Relevant strengths include experience in scheduled education transport, safeguarding-aware passenger care, punctuality, continuity of service and practical coordination between drivers, passenger assistants, the school and the council.
