## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured a passenger transport service for Route 60123, carrying pupils from Horsham to Downs View School. The requirement is for a four-seat taxi service operating at one passenger allocation, with delivery in the Chichester area of West Sussex. The procurement is categorised as taxi services and falls within the services sector. The council is the buying organisation. The route links Horsham with the school and is intended to provide dedicated transport for the specified pupils. This is a small, clearly defined school transport requirement rather than a general vehicle hire, fleet management or wider public transport service.

The procurement has been completed and awarded to ATLAS CARS CRAWLEY LTD. The award was made on 30 July 2026, for £53,338.24 including the stated contract value in GBP. The contract runs from 6 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. It was conducted as a selective procedure through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 23 July 2026 at 12:00. The published outcome records one active award to the named supplier. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the service was evaluated through the purchasing system route used for this call-off.

This award demonstrates recurring public-sector demand for a small, dedicated school taxi route in West Sussex and shows that an SME-sized local transport operator can secure the requirement through the council’s dynamic purchasing system. Suppliers considering similar work will need the operational capability to provide a reliable four-seat vehicle, undertake regular pupil journeys between Horsham and Downs View School, and manage the practical demands of a contracted school route. Relevant strengths include dependable driver and vehicle availability, familiarity with local roads and school transport routines, and the administrative capacity to participate in dynamic purchasing system call-offs. Taxi and private-hire operators serving West Sussex are the most directly aligned competitors.
