## Summary

The procurement process led by West Sussex County Council was centred around the contract titled "590 Albourne - Hassocks" within the public road transport services category. This selective procurement involved a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, aimed at servicing locations in the South East of the United Kingdom. Key dates included the tender period end on 18th March 2026 and the contract period starting on 1st April 2026, concluding on 31st March 2031. The procurement reached the award stage, with the notice published on 28th April 2026, and West Sussex County Council, located in Chichester, acting as the buyer.
