## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured passenger taxi transport for Route 7403, taking pupils from Yapton to Amicus School. The requirement is for four seats and one passenger assistant, so it combines vehicle capacity with an accompanying adult for the journey. The work is classified as taxi services and is delivered on the Yapton-to-school route in West Sussex. The buying council is based in Chichester. This is a specific school transport route rather than a general taxi service, making relevant experience in providing reliable passenger transport for pupils, with an appropriate passenger assistant, pertinent to suppliers considering similar requirements from this buyer.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Lemon Tech Solutions Limited. The award was made on 6 August 2026. The contract runs from 13 August 2026 to 31 July 2027, with an awarded value of £42,190.76. It was a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, rather than a standalone open competition. The requirement is a single route, for four seats and one passenger assistant; small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable. The available procurement details do not describe the scoring criteria or a further breakdown of how the award was evaluated.

This award confirms demand from West Sussex County Council for a dedicated, small-capacity school taxi route with a passenger assistant, rather than transport without an accompanying adult. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to provide suitable passenger transport capacity and reliably cover the Yapton-to-Amicus School journey, together with an assistant for pupils. The award went to an SME, and the council marked this route as suitable for SMEs, showing that a smaller operator can compete for this scale of work through the council’s dynamic purchasing system. Operators with experience coordinating school journeys and maintaining dependable service on a defined route are the closest fit. The requirement is narrow and route-specific, so relevant local operating capability matters more than a broad taxi fleet alone.
