Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council procured weekday school transport by saloon taxi for a pupil travelling from TN31 7LP to Peasmarsh Church of England Primary School. The service covers the journey to and from school on Mondays to Fridays, with school-day travel times of 08:50 to 15:30. The vehicle must carry one to eight passengers and be fitted with a high-back booster seat. No passenger assistant is required. The work is local transport in East Sussex, serving the school in Peasmarsh.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Compass Taxis. The council used a restricted procedure, with a selective procurement method. The closing deadline for submissions was 26 October 2026 at 11:00 UTC; the award was made on 26 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £42,900. The contract runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2029. The requirement was procured as a single school transport service; the published information describes the route and vehicle requirements but gives no separate award evaluation basis.

The award shows demand from East Sussex County Council for a regular, local school taxi service rather than general transport provision. A credible competitor would need a saloon suitable for the specified passenger capacity, a high-back booster seat, and the ability to deliver weekday journeys around the school timetable between the TN31 area and Peasmarsh. The council indicated that the opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Operators with capacity to provide dependable school-run transport on a fixed route, while meeting the stated vehicle and child-seat requirements, are best aligned with this requirement.
