## Summary

West Sussex County Council commissioned a taxi service for Route 65013, carrying four passengers and one pass between Cuckfield and The View School in Edenbridge. This is a dedicated school transport route, rather than a general taxi service. The journey is associated with West Sussex, with the council based in Chichester. The requirement is for passenger transport by car or taxi, serving pupils travelling to and from the school. The council is the buyer and is responsible for the route.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to GATE CARS LTD, a small or medium-sized supplier. The council called off the requirement from a dynamic purchasing system using a selective process. The stated contract value is £29,892.85. The award was made on 20 August 2026, and the contract period runs from 27 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The earlier tender deadline was 13 August 2026. The requirement is presented as one route, for four seats and one pass; no separate lot awards are reported. The data identifies SME suitability. The selection and evaluation criteria are not described in the available procurement details.

For taxi and school-transport operators, this award demonstrates a defined requirement for a small-capacity, dedicated journey from Cuckfield to The View School in Edenbridge, commissioned by West Sussex County Council. A credible competitor would need to provide a vehicle and operating capacity for four passengers and one pass, and reliably serve the specified school route. The award went to a small or medium-sized company, indicating that a supplier of this scale can deliver the requirement. The route was procured as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so experience of participating in such a system would be relevant to competing for similar council requirements. The commercial fit is strongest for operators able to deliver school passenger transport on this specific corridor, rather than providers whose business is limited to unrelated taxi journeys. The contract runs through July 2027.
