## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured passenger transport by taxi for three routes from Burgess Hill and Haywards Heath to Serenity School in Crawley. The service is intended to transport pupils between these towns and the school, with delivery in West Sussex and the surrounding South East area. The procurement is categorised as taxi services and falls within the wider services category. The council is based in Chichester and is the organisation responsible for buying the service. This requirement is relevant to taxi operators, school transport providers and mobility companies able to plan and deliver regular, reliable journeys for children between fixed collection areas and a school destination. The route title identifies three services grouped under Route 7404.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to FORGE MOBILITY SERVICES LTD on 30 July 2026. The award value is £38,518.64 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 6 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. West Sussex County Council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, rather than a standalone open tender. The tender submission deadline was 23 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on the basis of the procurement for taxi services, with the opportunity identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The successful supplier is a Crawley-based SME, and the award is active.

This award shows a defined requirement for organised school transport linking Burgess Hill and Haywards Heath with Serenity School in Crawley. A credible future competitor would need suitable taxi or passenger-transport vehicles, the operational capacity to cover three regular routes, and dependable scheduling for journeys involving school pupils. Local knowledge of the towns, collection points and routes into Crawley would support efficient delivery, while reliable drivers and robust safeguarding arrangements would be important for a school-focused service. The winning supplier is an SME based in Crawley, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist operator rather than only by a large transport company. Providers able to combine local coverage, consistent service management and capacity across multiple routes are the closest fit for this buyer’s requirement.
