Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by East Sussex County Council involves a tender for transport services under the title "Taxi and MPV (1-8 seats)". The tender seeks transport services from BN27 2PW to Manor Primary School, TN22 1UB. The services are classified under the CPV code 60000000, focusing on transport services excluding waste transport. This initiative, in the tender stage, follows a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure (above threshold). Key dates include the tender period ending on 1st June 2026, with the contract commencing on 3rd September 2026 and concluding by 31st July 2029.
