## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured taxi transport for a route from Ifield to outdoor animal-facilitated therapy services. The requirement is described as covering two passengers, indicating a small, route-specific service rather than a broad transport operation. Delivery is associated with Chichester and the South East of England. The work is passenger transport by taxi, with the Council as the buyer. This requirement links transport provision with access to therapy, so relevant suppliers are those able to provide dependable journeys for people travelling from Ifield to the therapy service. The route and passenger count define the stated scope; no wider transport network is described.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to ABC CARS, a small business. The award was made on 4 September 2026. The contract runs from 11 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its awarded value is £37,794.16, matching the estimated procurement value. The Council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, with bids due by 28 August 2026. This is a single route requirement, described as serving two passengers. The data identifies the service as taxi transport and confirms suitability for small and medium-sized businesses. No evaluation criteria or specific eligibility requirements are set out in the available procurement details.

For suppliers that did not win, this award shows West Sussex County Council buying a defined taxi service to connect Ifield with outdoor animal-facilitated therapy. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate reliable, passenger-focused transport for a small number of people on a dedicated route, with the practical capacity to deliver journeys throughout the contract. The selected supplier was a small business, and the Council marked the opportunity as suitable for SMEs, indicating that this scale can be served by smaller operators rather than requiring a large fleet or national network. The call-off route also shows that suppliers seeking comparable Council work should be positioned to compete through its dynamic purchasing system.
