Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council is seeking a taxi or MPV passenger transport service for a school route to Ropemakers Academy. The vehicle must have four seats, and both the driver and a female passenger assistant are required. Pick-ups are from TN6 3GL and TN22 5PN, with the school as the destination. The service is for school journeys Monday to Friday, around the stated school day of 08:30 to 14:30.

The buyer invited offers through a restricted procedure. The submission deadline was 16 November 2026 at 10:00 UTC. The planned contract period runs from 5 January 2027 to 31 July 2029. The service is described as one school route, with a four-seat vehicle and a female passenger assistant required. The opportunity is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. No evaluation basis or enquiry deadline is stated in the procurement details.

This requirement is suited to a small transport operator able to provide a four-seat taxi or MPV, a driver and a female passenger assistant for regular weekday school journeys. Suppliers need the practical capacity to cover pick-ups at both stated postcodes and transport passengers to Ropemakers Academy during the school-day schedule, throughout the contract period. The procurement identifies SMEs as suitable, so smaller providers may be well placed to compete if they can reliably supply the vehicle and both required personnel. No specialist accreditation or other specific experience requirement is stated.
