## Summary

The procurement process led by West Sussex County Council focuses on providing taxi services for the route from Littlehampton to Manor House School. Classified under the CPV code 60120000 for taxi services, this tender falls within the services industry category. Geographically, it pertains to the South East region of the United Kingdom, with a specific delivery address in Chichester, postal code PO19 1RQ. The procurement was executed through a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender period concluded on 18 August 2025, with the contract being awarded on 25 August 2025 and scheduled to run from 1 September 2025 to 31 July 2027, reflecting the contract period outlined.

This awarded contract presents growth opportunities particularly suited for taxi service companies capable of managing scheduled routes and who are looking to expand their client base within the educational sector in the South East.

For business users, leveraging dynamic purchasing systems can be a strategic approach to accessing similar opportunities in public sector procurement.
