## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured a taxi/minibus passenger transport service for Route 30019, carrying pupils from Worthing to Woodlands Meed School. The stated vehicle capacity is eight seats, with one passenger assistant (PA). The route is associated with Chichester, West Sussex, and the school destination is Woodlands Meed School. This is a school transport service rather than a general taxi requirement, with the specified passenger-assistant provision forming part of the route requirement. The buying organisation is West Sussex County Council.

The procurement has been awarded. West Sussex County Council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The submission deadline was 19 August 2026 at 12:00, and the award was made on 26 August 2026 to MINIBUS TRAVEL SERVICES LTD. The awarded value is £82,402.80. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The procurement is presented as one route requirement, with eight seats and one passenger assistant. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to compete. No award evaluation criteria are stated in the available process details.

This award demonstrates demand from West Sussex County Council for dedicated school transport between Worthing and Woodlands Meed School, including a vehicle with eight seats and a passenger assistant. A credible competitor for this specific requirement would need to organise reliable, route-specific pupil transport and provide the stated passenger-assistant support alongside the vehicle capacity. The successful supplier, MINIBUS TRAVEL SERVICES LTD, is identified as an SME, showing that a smaller transport operator has delivered this type of council requirement. Relevant capability is therefore focused on coordinating minibus or taxi transport for school journeys, matching the required seating and support arrangement, and operating a service for the named route and destination. The procurement was handled as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so familiarity with that route is commercially relevant.
