## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured a passenger taxi service for one passenger on route 1681, travelling from Selsey to APC Littlehampton. The vehicle requirement is four seats, with no passenger assistant. This is a local transport service rather than a purchase of vehicles or general taxi provision. The council is based in Chichester, West Sussex.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Castle Cars West Sussex Ltd on 19 August 2026. The awarded value is £34,760.88. The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 12 August 2026. The process records the award and contract period, but gives no evaluation basis or detailed eligibility conditions.

This requirement demonstrates demand from West Sussex County Council for a small-scale, single-passenger taxi journey between Selsey and APC Littlehampton, using a four-seat vehicle without a passenger assistant. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide taxi transport on this route and accommodate the stated passenger and vehicle configuration. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, and the selected supplier is itself an SME. The award indicates that this type of local transport provision can be delivered through a call-off from the council’s dynamic purchasing system.
