Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council is procuring weekday school transport by saloon taxi for one passenger requiring a passenger assistant. The route runs from postcode BN27 2LF to Hazel Court School, with the vehicle and assistant providing transport for the school journey. The service is scheduled for Monday to Friday, covering the daily school timetable between 08:45 and 15:00. This is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply, general taxi provision or transport of goods. The work is delivered in the United Kingdom and is intended for a supplier able to provide a suitable saloon vehicle together with a passenger assistant for the route and school-related operating requirements. The opportunity is identified as transport services under CPV 60000000.

The process has reached tender: East Sussex County Council invited offers using a restricted procedure above threshold. The buyer set the submission deadline as 27 August 2026 at 10:00. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The procurement is for services and is presented as a single requirement covering the specified taxi route. The published procurement information sets the journey timetable and passenger-assistant requirement as key service parameters. It also identifies the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Bidders should review the procurement requirements and submit their offer by the stated deadline under the restricted procedure.

This opportunity suits taxi operators, school transport providers and other passenger transport businesses that can allocate a saloon vehicle and provide a passenger assistant for a regular school route. It is a defined, recurring weekday service with a consistent destination and daily operating timetable, which may suit an SME with local operating capacity and reliable driver and vehicle availability. Suppliers need to be able to undertake the journey from BN27 2LF to Hazel Court School, support the passenger-assistant element and provide transport throughout the school day’s stated schedule. The requirement is focused on dependable passenger transport and continuity of service, rather than a large fleet or a broad multi-route operation.
