Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council is seeking a weekday school transport service using a saloon taxi or MPV with capacity for 1–8 passengers. The specified route runs from TN6 2NW to Flagship, TN34 2AE. Journeys are required Monday to Friday around school times, between 08:50 and 14:30. No passenger assistant is required. The service is classified as transport services. This is a local passenger-transport requirement for a supplier able to provide a suitable vehicle and operate the stated route and weekday schedule.

The council invited offers through a restricted procedure. The tender deadline was 27 October 2026 at 13:00 UTC. The contract period is 2 November 2026 to 1 July 2029. The requirement is for one specified route; no separate lots are described. The published requirements identify the vehicle type, passenger capacity, route, weekday frequency and school-time operating window. The tender information gives no evaluation basis or eligibility conditions beyond identifying the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This requirement may suit an SME taxi or private-hire operator able to provide a saloon vehicle or MPV carrying 1–8 passengers and reliably cover the specified route on weekdays during school hours. The buyer states that the opportunity is suitable for SMEs. No passenger assistant is required, so the stated service does not call for that staffing provision. The scale is a single route with a defined daily operating window, which may suit a local operator with appropriate vehicle availability and the capacity to deliver regular school journeys. The stated requirement does not identify particular accreditations or prior experience conditions.
