Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council is seeking taxi or multi-purpose vehicle transport for a school journey from postcode BN23 8JZ to Headstart School, TN33 9EG. The specified vehicle is a saloon, carrying between one and eight passengers, with no passenger assistant required. The service is to run from Monday to Friday, for the school day journey timings of 08:45 to 15:10. This is a passenger transport service for a school route, delivered in the area between the stated starting postcode and Headstart School. The council is the buying organisation.

The council invited offers through a restricted procedure. The tender deadline was 15 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 19 October 2026 to 31 July 2029. The process is recorded as having reached the tender stage, when the buyer invited offers. The requirement is presented as a single school transport route. The stated vehicle and passenger arrangements define the service to be provided; the published information gives no separate evaluation criteria or bid-scoring basis. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable to compete. No contract value is stated.

This opportunity is suited to taxi and private hire operators able to provide a saloon suitable for journeys carrying between one and eight passengers, and to deliver a regular school-day service from Monday to Friday. Operators need to be able to cover the journey between BN23 8JZ and Headstart School, TN33 9EG, with timings aligned to the stated school day. The requirement does not include a passenger assistant, so suppliers do not need to provide that role for this route. The council identifies the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, making it relevant to smaller local operators as well as larger transport providers. The requirement centres on dependable passenger transport for a defined route.
