Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council has issued a tender titled "Taxi and MPV (1-8 seats) - Taxi and MPV (1-8 seats)" under the category of transport services, with CPV classification 60000000. The procurement process is in the tender stage, employing a selective procurement method via a restricted procedure above the threshold. The location for the service is set within the United Kingdom, specifically, providing a taxi service from BN25 3RP to Bricklehurst Manor School, TN5 7EL. Key dates include the tender's publication on 5th August 2026 and the deadline for submissions set for 10th August 2026, at 13:00. The contract is expected to run from 4th September 2026 to 31st July 2029.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in transport services. Given the requirement for a female driver and the specific school-run schedule from Monday to Friday, businesses offering dedicated and reliable taxi or minibus services in the region will find this tender particularly fitting. Such companies stand to gain stable, long-term contract work by fulfilling the needs of the East Sussex County Council for this specific transportation requirement. The restricted nature of the procurement process means that businesses with a strong track record in providing community-focused transport services have an advantageous position in the competitive selection phase.
