## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured passenger transport services for route 53498, carrying passengers between Crawley and St Piers. The requirement is for a taxi or similar passenger vehicle configured with three rows of seats, one passenger assistant and capacity for an average wheelchair. This is a service contract rather than a goods or construction requirement, classified under taxi services (CPV 60120000). Delivery is associated with the Crawley–St Piers route in West Sussex, within the South East of England. The council is based in Chichester and is the organisation using its budget to secure this transport service.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. West Sussex County Council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender value and awarded value were both £47,142.12 including the stated currency of GBP. ABC CARS was awarded the contract on 29 July 2026. The contract period runs from 5 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 22 July 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award was made to one supplier for the route requirement, covering the specified vehicle, passenger assistant and wheelchair transport service.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for local passenger transport operators able to run a regular route between Crawley and St Piers using a three-row MPV, with one passenger assistant and provision for an average wheelchair. A credible future competitor would need the appropriate vehicle capacity, reliable operational arrangements for assisted passenger journeys and the ability to provide accessible transport on this route. The procurement route also shows that the buyer sources this type of service through a dynamic purchasing system, so businesses seeking similar council work should be able to operate within that purchasing arrangement. The requirement is explicitly suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller taxi and community transport operators with suitable accessible-transport capability.
