## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured a passenger transport service for its Route 7395: a journey from Littlehampton to Aurora Vincent House School, providing four passenger seats and no passenger assistant. The service falls within taxi and local transport operations and is classified as a service contract. The recorded delivery area is Chichester, West Sussex, with the council based in Chichester. This is a specific school-route requirement rather than a general taxi framework, so it is most relevant to operators able to provide reliable scheduled transport between Littlehampton and the school, using a vehicle suitable for four passengers and operating without a passenger assistant.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to FORGE MOBILITY SERVICES LTD. The award was made on 29 July 2026 for £37,426.76, inclusive of the stated GBP currency, and covers the period from 5 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The original tender had a submission deadline of 22 July 2026 at 12:00. West Sussex County Council used a selective procedure through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract was evaluated as a taxi services requirement, and the opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The successful supplier is an SME. The award is active and the tender status is complete.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement shows a defined demand from West Sussex County Council for contracted school-route transport between Littlehampton and Aurora Vincent House School. A credible future competitor would need to provide dependable passenger transport with capacity for four seats, deliver the specified route consistently, and operate without a passenger assistant. The requirement is well suited to a small or medium-sized taxi, private-hire or specialist transport operator with the vehicles, drivers and operational resilience needed for regular school journeys. Experience of council transport services and the ability to participate in, and take call-offs through, a dynamic purchasing system would strengthen a supplier’s position when pursuing comparable requirements from this buyer.
