## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured a passenger taxi service for Route 7402, carrying passengers between Chichester and My Choice. The requirement is for a vehicle with four seats and no personal assistant. It is classified as taxi services and falls within the services category. Delivery is associated with Chichester, West Sussex, including the council’s address in Chichester. The buyer is West Sussex County Council. The requirement concerns dedicated route transport rather than general taxi provision, so relevant businesses are operators able to provide reliable scheduled passenger journeys using a four-seat vehicle without an accompanying personal assistant. The selected supplier, Castle Cars West Sussex Ltd, is a small or medium-sized enterprise based at Arundel railway station.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 22 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Castle Cars West Sussex Ltd on 29 July 2026 for £29,509.13 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 5 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £29,509.13. The procurement was evaluated as a single route requirement for taxi services, with suitability identified for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the procurement has a completed status. No lots or separate awards are identified.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined demand from West Sussex County Council for small-scale, route-based passenger transport serving Chichester. The requirement is suitable for an SME with the operational ability to provide a four-seat taxi service without a personal assistant, and with sufficient capacity to support a dedicated council route. The route was awarded through a dynamic purchasing system, so businesses already able to participate in that purchasing route would be well placed to compete for comparable requirements. Credibility for a future requirement would come from demonstrating dependable vehicle and driver availability, the ability to deliver scheduled passenger journeys, and practical coverage of the Chichester area.
