## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured a taxi service for school transport on Route 60142, carrying pupils from Chichester to Seadown School. The requirement is for a vehicle with four passenger seats and one passenger assistant. Delivery is associated with Chichester, West Sussex, and the school route between Chichester and Seadown School. This is a local, passenger-transport service rather than a general taxi fleet requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to PHOENIX CARS SUSSEX LTD. The award was made on 25 August 2026, at a value of £57,759.91. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. West Sussex County Council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 18 August 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was presented as a single school transport route, with four seats and one passenger assistant. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No separate evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement details.

This award demonstrates a specific requirement for contracted school taxi transport in West Sussex: a defined route from Chichester to Seadown School, with four passenger seats and a passenger assistant. A credible future competitor would need to provide dependable local passenger transport, the required vehicle capacity and an appropriately resourced passenger-assistant service for the school journey. The buyer procured the service through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers seeking similar work would need to be positioned to compete through that route. The requirement is modest in scope and was marked as suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to local taxi and school-transport operators able to deliver a dedicated route service.
