## Summary

West Sussex County Council has completed a public procurement process for the provision of minibus taxi services between Horsham and Woodlands Meed College. The successful contract, classified under the taxi services category (CPV code 60120000), was awarded to Gatwick Minibuses. The contract involves operating an 11-seater minibus with capacity for seven passengers and one personal assistant. This award was made through a selective procurement method via a dynamic purchasing system. The procurement stage is at the "Award" stage, with the contract period running from 1st September 2025 to 31st July 2026. The value of the contract is £58,850.52, and it serves the South East region of the United Kingdom, with a postal code of PO19 1RQ.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses in the transportation and taxi services industry, particularly those capable of providing specialised minibus services. The contract's reliance on a dynamic purchasing system highlights the importance of being part of such frameworks to compete for similar opportunities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in fleet management or transportation logistics would find this type of contract suitable, although Gatwick Minibuses, identified as an SME, demonstrates the potential for such enterprises to secure government contracts. The specific focus on a consistent route also favours businesses with experience in regular service delivery in the education or special needs sectors.
