Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council has completed a public procurement process titled "Taxi and MPV (1-8 seats) - Taxi and MPV (1-8 seats)" under the industry category of transport services, excluding waste transport. This procurement, conducted via a restricted procedure above threshold, involved selecting transport services for a specified route between TN21 8HR/TN21 0SL and Moor House School KS2-4, RH8 9AQ in the United Kingdom. The contract was awarded to Crowborough Executive Private Hire on 8th June 2026, with the contract period running from 3rd September 2026 to 31st July 2029.

This tender offers significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in transport services who seek to expand their market presence by partnering with local councils. The procurement process was tailored for businesses capable of providing consistent weekday transport services without the need for a passenger assistant. This long-term contract can be particularly lucrative for companies based near the specified areas, aligning with their service capabilities and strategic growth objectives. Interested parties should ensure they meet the selective criteria, as such frameworks facilitate efficient and competitive operational models.
