## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured a regular home-to-school taxi service for Route 60134, carrying up to four pupils from Burgess Hill to a micro school in Hove, with one passenger assistant (PA) accompanying them. This is a passenger transport service, specifically taxi transport for a school journey. The route starts in Burgess Hill and serves a school in Hove; the procurement also lists a delivery address in Chichester. The council is the buyer, and the requirement is for a dedicated regular team rather than a general taxi service. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Sussex School Transport Ltd. The award was made on 20 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £55,529.72. The contract runs from 27 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The council used a selective process, making a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 13 August 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was presented as a single route service, with four passenger seats and one PA. The published procurement information does not set out evaluation weightings or specific eligibility requirements beyond identifying the opportunity as suitable for SMEs.

This award demonstrates West Sussex County Council’s demand for regular, pupil-specific taxi transport between Burgess Hill and a school in Hove, including a four-seat vehicle and a passenger assistant. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to organise a consistent driver and vehicle team, provide safe and reliable school journeys, and supply an appropriately capable passenger assistant. The selected supplier is a small business, showing that a smaller operator can deliver this route-scale service. The call-off route also indicates that suppliers would need to qualify for and operate within the relevant dynamic purchasing system to compete for comparable requirements. Experience managing regular school transport, dependable cover for staffing or vehicle disruption, and the capacity to maintain the same service throughout the school contract period would be commercially relevant.
