Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council recently completed a public procurement process for the provision of taxi and MPV (1-8 seats) services, covering routes from TN35 4RQ, TN33 0PL, and TN32 5AS to The Flagship School in TN34 2AE, operating Monday through Friday. The procurement, classified under CPV code 60000000 for transport services, was conducted using a selective procurement method described as a restricted procedure above the threshold. The contract commenced on 3rd September 2026 and will end on 31st July 2029, with an awarded contract value of GBP 72,960 to 247 Transport Solutions Ltd, an SME based in East Sussex. The tender process was conducted from 17th to 24th June 2026, with the award status finalised and published on 29th June 2026.

This procurement provides opportunities for SMEs like 247 Transport Solutions Ltd to expand their transport service offerings within East Sussex. Given the requirement for taxi and MPV services without a passenger assistant, businesses specialising in efficient and reliable transport solutions stand to benefit significantly. The three-year contract period offers stability and growth potential for transport firms aiming to strengthen their footprint in regional school transportation services, fostering beneficial long-term client relationships and ensuring consistent demand for services.
