Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council procured a weekday school taxi service using a saloon car, for one passenger travelling from postcode BN20 8UL to The Haven Church of England Methodist Primary School (BN23 5SW). Journeys were required Monday to Friday, with school-day timings of 08:50 to 15:30. The passenger has ASD and ADHD, and the route specification states that no passenger assistant is required. The service is classified as transport and is intended to get the passenger to and from school. The council is based in Lewes; the delivery route is identified by postcodes and the school’s name.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Sussex Cars Association on 5 October 2026. The awarded value is £35,040. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 July 2029. The council used a restricted procedure, described as above threshold. The submission deadline was 5 October 2026 at 10:00. The available procurement details identify one route and one awarded supplier. The award information records the successful supplier and contract value, but does not set out an evaluation basis or selection criteria.

This award shows demand from East Sussex County Council for a regular, single-passenger school transport service in a saloon car, with weekday journeys aligned to school hours. A credible competing supplier would need to provide dependable transport between the specified pickup area and The Haven Church of England Methodist Primary School, and be equipped to serve a passenger with ASD and ADHD. The requirement did not call for a passenger assistant. The opportunity was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the selected supplier is an SME. For this specific requirement, relevant experience would include delivering consistent school-run transport to the stated schedule and meeting the passenger’s transport needs.
