Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council has concluded a procurement process for the "Taxi and MPV (1-8 seats)" project under the industry category of transport services, specifically excluding waste transport. The awarded contract, valued at £53,200, was finalised with the supplier, 247 Transport Solutions Ltd, on 9th July 2026, and is set to run from 3rd September 2026 to 31st July 2029. The procurement method was a selective "restricted procedure" above the threshold, focusing on quality service provision for the specific requirement of transporting children to New Horizons School from multiple locations within the United Kingdom. This contract was managed through East Sussex County Council's procurement team, located at County Hall, Lewes, United Kingdom.

This procurement offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services. SMEs were encouraged to participate, showcasing the council's aim to involve small and medium enterprises in public contracts. Businesses with expertise in operating saloon type vehicles for school transportation, particularly accommodating routine schedules, are well-suited to similar tenders. Given the current contract's strategic route planning and daily service requirements, companies with capacity to meet stringent service delivery standards could leverage this experience to secure future contracts.
