Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council is seeking a taxi or MPV passenger transport service for a school journey in Eastbourne. The route is from the BN22 8FA and BN22 8RS areas to Hazel Court School, BN23 8EJ. The requirement is for a six-seat MPV and includes a passenger assistant. The service is for pupils with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), with journeys scheduled on weekdays to fit the school day.

The buyer invited offers through a restricted procedure. The submission deadline set was 1 October 2026 at 11:00. The contract period is from 7 October 2026 to 31 July 2029. The procurement is for a single school transport route. Small and medium-sized enterprises are considered suitable to compete.

This opportunity suits a taxi or private-hire operator able to provide a six-seat MPV, a passenger assistant and reliable weekday school transport between the specified Eastbourne areas and Hazel Court School. Suppliers should be equipped to support passengers with ASD and meet the school’s daily journey times. The stated suitability for SMEs makes this relevant to smaller operators with the vehicle and staffing capacity to deliver the route.
