## Summary

West Sussex County Council commissioned a regular, team-operated minibus service for Route 60134, carrying up to four passengers and one passenger assistant between Burgess Hill and Hove. The requirement is described as a micro-school route and falls within passenger taxi and transport services. Delivery is associated with West Sussex, with an address in Chichester also recorded. The route connects Burgess Hill with Hove; the service is intended for a small passenger group and requires a passenger assistant as well as transport. The council is the buyer and the work is a service rather than a supply of vehicles or a construction project.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. West Sussex County Council selected R GSM Services Ltd. The award date was 17 August 2026, and the service contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The awarded value is £38,692.42. The council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The procurement was for a single route, with a response deadline of 10 August 2026 at 12 noon. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to provide the service. No evaluation scoring or award criteria are stated in the available process information, so the basis for choosing the successful supplier beyond the selective call-off route is not described.

This award shows a defined requirement for regular, team-operated school transport on a Burgess Hill–Hove route, with capacity for four passengers and provision of a passenger assistant. A credible competitor would need to organise dependable passenger transport and staffing as a regular service, including an assistant alongside the driver or transport provision. The small route size and stated SME suitability indicate that a smaller operator may be positioned to deliver this type of work; the requirement is not framed as a large fleet contract. Suppliers already able to operate school or passenger transport routes through a dynamic purchasing system would be well placed to compete for this buyer’s comparable requirement. The central commercial challenge is matching the specified route, passenger capacity and regular team arrangement.
