## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured a passenger transport service for its WSCC Route 7385: transporting one passenger from Billingshurst to Aurora Chaldon School, with no passenger assistant required. The requirement is classified as taxi services and falls within the services category. The journey is associated with Chichester, West Sussex, and the route connects Billingshurst with Aurora Chaldon School. This is a specific, small-scale school transport operation rather than a wider passenger transport network or general vehicle services contract. Businesses relevant to this requirement are taxi operators and other passenger transport providers able to provide reliable journeys for a single school passenger on the specified route.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. West Sussex County Council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids were due by 28 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to CROWN CARS LTD on 4 August 2026 for £34,996.48, including the requirement for one passenger and no passenger assistant. The contract period runs from 11 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The procurement record identifies the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. One supplier is named for the award. The available procurement details establish the route, service scope and call-off method, but do not set out a separate price or quality weighting.

This award shows that West Sussex County Council uses its dynamic purchasing system to source dedicated taxi services for individual school routes, including journeys for a single passenger without a passenger assistant. A credible future competitor would need to operate suitable vehicles, provide dependable school transport and manage a consistent route between Billingshurst and Aurora Chaldon School. Operational capability matters at this scale: the provider must be able to deliver regular, punctual journeys for one passenger rather than rely on high-volume group transport. The award to an SME indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller local or regional operator with the capacity to meet the council’s call-off and service expectations.
