## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured a taxi service for one passenger on Route 10016, travelling from Codmore Hill to Ashdown Gardens School. The requirement is school transport, with the named route defining the journey to be provided. The delivery address information identifies West Sussex, including a postcode in Chichester; the route endpoints are Codmore Hill and Ashdown Gardens School. This is a passenger transport service rather than a purchase of vehicles or a general taxi fleet. The buyer is West Sussex County Council.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to GATE CARS LTD. The award was made on 31 August 2026. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027, and its awarded value is £64,882.21. The council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The stated route is a single passenger journey between Codmore Hill and Ashdown Gardens School; the procurement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. No award evaluation criteria are recorded in the process details.

For taxi and school-transport operators, this award demonstrates a defined local requirement for carrying one passenger on a regular school route for the contract period. A credible competitor would need to organise reliable point-to-point transport between Codmore Hill and Ashdown Gardens School, with the capacity to meet the passenger’s journey needs consistently. The selected supplier, GATE CARS LTD, is recorded as a small or medium-sized business, showing that this individual route was delivered by an SME rather than requiring a large transport operator. Suppliers seeking similar work from West Sussex County Council should be positioned to operate school taxi journeys and to take part in call-offs through a dynamic purchasing system.
