## Summary

East Sussex County Council has recently concluded a public procurement process for the provision of Taxi and MPV (1-8 seats) Passenger Assistant services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as they are the primary target for suitability in this contract.
