## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured a passenger transport service for its Route 7396, carrying pupils from Crawley to Aurora Vincent House School. The requirement is for a vehicle with four passenger seats and does not include a passenger assistant. This is a taxi service, within the wider services category, delivered along the Crawley-to-school route. The buying organisation is West Sussex County Council, based in Chichester. The requirement is focused on reliable education transport rather than general taxi operations, so relevant providers are firms able to provide scheduled school journeys, suitable vehicles and dependable day-to-day transport for a small number of passengers.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. West Sussex County Council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 22 July 2026 at 12 noon, and the contract was awarded on 29 July 2026 to FORGE MOBILITY SERVICES LTD. The awarded value is £32,047.82 including the published currency of GBP. The contract runs from 5 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender was for one service requirement rather than a stated multi-lot arrangement. The award is active. The procurement record identifies the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No separate quality, price or other evaluation weighting is stated.

For a competing supplier, this award provides evidence that West Sussex County Council buys dedicated, small-scale school transport on a route-specific basis through its dynamic purchasing system. A credible future provider would need to operate taxi or passenger transport services, supply a four-seat vehicle, and reliably carry pupils between Crawley and Aurora Vincent House School without a passenger assistant. Operational strength would include dependable attendance at scheduled collections, safe and consistent school journeys, suitable driver arrangements and the capacity to provide the service throughout the contract period. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist transport business rather than only a large fleet operator.
