## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured a taxi service for Route 65011, carrying passengers from Billingshurst to Philpots Manor. The requirement is for a vehicle with four seats and no passenger assistant. This is a specific school or passenger transport route rather than a general taxi-services contract. The tender lists delivery in West Sussex, with the council’s address in Chichester. The service is classed as passenger taxi transport (CPV 60120000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to CREST CARS. The council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The award was made on 20 August 2026, at a value of £26,255. The contract period runs from 27 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 13 August 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was presented as a single route, with four seats and no passenger assistant; the available information gives no separate lot structure or evaluation criteria. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to take part.

This award shows demand from West Sussex County Council for a small, route-specific passenger transport service linking Billingshurst and Philpots Manor. A credible competitor would need to provide reliable taxi transport with capacity for four passengers and operate without a passenger assistant, while meeting the council’s requirements for a call-off through its dynamic purchasing system. The award to CREST CARS, identified as an SME, demonstrates that this scale of work can be delivered by a smaller supplier. The opportunity is relevant to taxi and passenger transport operators able to serve this route and manage a dedicated council transport contract.
