## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured a taxi service for Route 1684, carrying passengers from Worthing to APC Chichester. The requirement is for a vehicle with four seats and one passenger assistant (PA). The stated destination is Chichester; the route begins in Worthing. This is a passenger transport service rather than a purchase of vehicles or general taxi provision.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to ACE Taxis West Sussex Ltd. The award was made on 26 August 2026, following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The estimated and awarded contract value is £62,469.26. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 19 August 2026. The published information identifies one route and specifies a four-seat vehicle with one passenger assistant; it does not set out separate lots or an evaluation formula. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from West Sussex County Council for a dedicated taxi route between Worthing and APC Chichester, with a four-seat vehicle and a passenger assistant. A credible competitor for this specific requirement would need to provide reliable passenger transport on the route and supply the required assistant alongside the vehicle. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized business, showing that this scale of service can be delivered by an SME. The route was procured as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer would need to be positioned to compete through that purchasing route. The evidence points to a focused transport service rather than a broad fleet or general taxi contract.
