Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council is buying weekday minibus transport for a school route from Tram Road in Rye Harbour to Rye Community Primary School. The service is for a 16-seat minibus and is scheduled around the school day, from 08:45 to 15:15, Monday to Friday. A passenger assistant is not required. This is a passenger transport service for taking pupils between the specified starting point and school.

The council invited offers through a restricted procedure. The tender deadline was 2 November 2026 at 16:00. The contract period is from 4 November 2026 to 31 July 2029. The published requirement describes one school route and a 16-seat vehicle. Small and medium-sized businesses are considered suitable to compete. The route, vehicle capacity and weekday school timetable define the service to be provided.

This opportunity suits passenger transport operators able to provide and operate a 16-seat minibus on a regular weekday school service between Rye Harbour and Rye Community Primary School. Suppliers need the capacity to meet the stated school-day timetable throughout the contract period, with no passenger assistant required. The council identifies small and medium-sized businesses as suitable, making the requirement relevant to operators of that scale as well as larger transport providers.
