## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured a passenger taxi service for Route 60138, transporting passengers from Chichester to Oak Grove College. The requirement is for a four-seater vehicle, a regular driver and no passenger assistant. It is a transport service classified under CPV 60120000 (taxi services), rather than a general vehicle hire or fleet supply contract. The work is delivered on the Chichester-to-Oak Grove College route, with the recorded delivery location in Chichester, West Sussex. The council is both the buyer and the organisation managing the requirement. The service is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to local taxi operators and small passenger transport businesses with suitable vehicles and drivers.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 30 July 2026 to PHOENIX CARS SUSSEX LTD. The award value is £25,071.34. The contract runs from 6 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. It was conducted as a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, rather than as an open tender. The tender submission deadline was 23 July 2026 at 12:00. The awarded requirement covers the full Route 60138 service: Chichester to Oak Grove College, using a four-seater vehicle, a regular driver and no passenger assistant. West Sussex County Council is the buyer, and the successful supplier is recorded as PHOENIX CARS SUSSEX LTD.

For a supplier that did not win, this award provides a clear example of the council’s demand for scheduled education-related passenger transport on a defined local route. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to operate a four-seater taxi, provide a dependable regular driver and deliver the complete route without a passenger assistant. The opportunity is well suited to a small or medium-sized taxi or passenger transport business rather than a large fleet operator needing a substantial multi-vehicle contract. Experience of reliable school or college transport, consistent route delivery and maintaining an appropriate vehicle would support a competitive future response through the council’s dynamic purchasing system.
