Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council is seeking transport services for a contract titled "Taxi and MPV (1-8 seats)" under the industry category of transport services, excluding waste transport. The service involves the provision of taxi and MPV vehicles for a school route covering locations from BN23 5TB and BN22 7SR to The Flagship School, TN34 2AE. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, following a selective, restricted procedure above the threshold. Interested parties should note the tender period closes on 15th June 2026 at 11:00 AM, and the contract is scheduled to commence on 3rd September 2026, concluding on 31st July 2029. The opportunity is open to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), making it an accessible option for a variety of transport service providers.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for SMEs specialising in passenger transport services to expand their portfolio by partnering with East Sussex County Council. The structured school route presents a reliable demand for service providers with suitable vehicles such as saloons and MPVs, specifically catering to the education sector's needs. Businesses positioned to deliver high-quality, punctual, and organised transport services outside of waste transport will find this contract advantageous. Moreover, as it encompasses a daily school schedule from Monday to Friday, it provides consistent work and the potential for stable revenue generation over a three-year period.
