## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured a regular team taxi service for Route 70021, transporting pupils from Poulbourgh to Minerva May School. The requirement was for a four-seat vehicle, with no passenger assistant, operating a scheduled school journey. It is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle-only supply, and falls within taxi services. Delivery is associated with the route between Poulbourgh and Minerva May School in West Sussex, with the council based in Chichester. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Businesses with experience in scheduled school transport, suitable four-seat vehicles and the ability to provide a consistent regular team would be relevant to this type of council requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to AMBER TRANSPORT LTD on 30 July 2026. It used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract value is £27,992.57, and the contract period runs from 6 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 23 July 2026 at 12:00. The award covers the full Route 70021 requirement and has an active award status. West Sussex County Council is the buyer. The published procurement category is services, with taxi services as the stated classification. The available outcome identifies one awarded supplier and one contract period; the requirement was for four seats and no passenger assistant.

This award demonstrates a specific, recurring demand from West Sussex County Council for organised school-route transport rather than ad hoc taxi journeys. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide a reliable four-seat vehicle, operate a regular team consistently, and manage scheduled travel between Poulbourgh and Minerva May School. Relevant operational strengths include dependable attendance at every school journey, safe and suitable pupil transport arrangements, competent drivers and the capacity to maintain service continuity across the contract term. The procurement route also matters: suppliers would need to understand how to participate in a dynamic purchasing system call-off and meet its qualification requirements. The opportunity is particularly relevant to established small or medium-sized taxi and private-hire operators serving West Sussex.
