## Summary

West Sussex County Council bought a passenger transport service for its WSCC 435 route to Midhurst Rother College, with a minimum capacity of 57 seats. The work is transport to the college in Midhurst, West Sussex. The service falls within taxi and passenger transport services. The council is based in Chichester.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Sussex Coaches. The council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The award was made on 4 August 2026, for £199,932.74. The contract period runs from 11 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £199,932.74. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published procurement information does not set out an evaluation basis or a separate lot structure.

This award demonstrates demand from West Sussex County Council for dedicated transport to Midhurst Rother College, with capacity for at least 57 seats. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need to demonstrate they can reliably provide transport at that scale and serve the college route. The council used a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so familiarity with that route would be commercially relevant. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller transport operators may be well placed to compete where they can meet the capacity and service requirement.
