## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured a private-hire passenger transport service on Route 53506, carrying pupils from Bognor Regis to New Barn School. The requirement is for a four-seat vehicle and one passenger assistant (PA), with EpiPen training. It is a school transport service, classified as taxi services (CPV 60120000). The route runs from Bognor Regis to New Barn School; the procurement also lists Chichester as a delivery location. The council is based in Chichester. This is a specific school route with an attendant and a medical-response training requirement, rather than a general taxi service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to WESTERN CARS PRIVATE HIRE LTD. The award was made on 10 August 2026 for £72,698.69. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The original estimated procurement value was also £72,698.69. The stated submission deadline was 3 August 2026 at 12:00. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. One route is described, with no separate lots set out. The published information does not state evaluation weightings or other award criteria.

This award shows demand from West Sussex County Council for a dedicated school transport route from Bognor Regis to New Barn School, combining a four-seat vehicle with a passenger assistant and EpiPen training. It indicates that relevant suppliers need to provide suitable private-hire transport, arrange an accompanying PA, and ensure that person has the required EpiPen training. The award went to a small business, and the procurement was suitable for SMEs, suggesting this route-sized requirement can be delivered by a smaller operator as well as a larger transport provider. For a comparable future requirement, credible suppliers would need to demonstrate the capacity to cover the specified journey and consistently provide both the vehicle and trained passenger support through a call-off arrangement.
