Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council has recently concluded a public procurement process for the provision of Taxi and MPV (1-8 seats) Passenger Assistant services. The contract, classified under transport services excluding waste transport, has been awarded to Jetstream Airport Transfers. This selective procurement was conducted through a restricted procedure above threshold, and the award was finalized on 4th August 2026. The contract period runs from 4th September 2026 to 31st July 2029, ensuring dedicated transport from BN10 areas to Summerdown Primary School in the United Kingdom on weekdays. This process reached the award stage with a tender period ending on 31st July 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as they are the primary target for suitability in this contract. Businesses experienced in providing transport services, especially those capable of offering passenger assistance for specialised requirements, such as accommodating passengers with asthma, would find this contract particularly suitable to expand their service portfolio. With East Sussex County Council as the buying entity, suppliers involved in such transport logistics have a solid growth opportunity by engaging in consistent, school-time operations over a multi-year period.
