## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured a passenger taxi service for Route 70014, carrying one passenger in a four-seat vehicle between Arundel and Slinfold CE Primary School. The requirement is classified as taxi services and falls within the services category. Delivery is associated with Arundel, Slinfold and the West Sussex area, with the council based in Chichester. The service is intended to provide dedicated school transport on the specified route rather than general passenger transport. This is a small, clearly defined route operation suited to an established local taxi or private-hire operator with access to an appropriate vehicle and the ability to provide reliable journeys for a school passenger.

The procurement has been awarded. West Sussex County Council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 23 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 30 July 2026 to Hammersleys Taxis Ltd for £32,917.50 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 6 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The awarded value is the same as the tender value. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier is Hammersleys Taxis Ltd, and the award is active. The procurement was evaluated through the dynamic purchasing system call-off route.

For a competing supplier, this award demonstrates a council requirement for dependable, route-specific school passenger transport using a standard taxi-sized vehicle. A credible future provider would need to operate reliably between Arundel and Slinfold CE Primary School, accommodate one passenger safely, and maintain a suitable four-seat vehicle for regular school journeys. Local knowledge, dependable scheduling and the operational capacity to cover the complete route would be important. The requirement is well matched to a small or medium-sized taxi or private-hire business already equipped for contracted passenger transport. Experience of school-run services, safeguarding procedures, passenger welfare and consistent communication with the council would strengthen a future offer.
