Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council is seeking a six-seat taxi or MPV service to transport a passenger between the BN7 2TP area and St John’s College, Brighton (BN2 0AF). A passenger assistant must accompany the passenger. Journeys are required from Monday to Friday, with the stated school-day times varying by day: 09:25–16:05 on Monday, 09:00–16:05 Tuesday to Thursday, and 09:00–15:05 on Friday. This is a passenger transport service for a school journey, rather than a general taxi supply requirement.

The buyer invited offers through a restricted procedure. The stated bid deadline was 27 October 2026 at 13:00 UTC. The contract period is 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2029. The requirement is presented as a single route; the published information does not set out an evaluation basis or a contract value.

The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. It is best matched to a taxi or private hire operator able to provide a six-seat vehicle and a passenger assistant for regular weekday school journeys between the Lewes-area postcode and Brighton. Suppliers will need to cover the specified school-day schedules, including the differing start and finish times across the week, and sustain the service over the contract period. The assistant requirement makes this more than a vehicle-and-driver-only taxi journey; operators should be able to provide both the transport and passenger support.
