## Summary

East Sussex County Council is procuring a taxi service to carry a pupil from postcode TN33 9QE to Salehurst C of E Primary School. The requirement is for a four-seat vehicle, with journeys scheduled Monday to Friday around the school day, 09:00 to 15:00. It is a local passenger transport service for a school route, rather than a general vehicle hire requirement.

The buyer invited offers through a restricted procedure. The submission deadline set was 12 October 2026 at 10:00. The planned contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 31 July 2029. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This requirement may suit a taxi or private-hire operator able to provide a four-seat vehicle and deliver a reliable weekday school route between the stated pickup postcode and Salehurst C of E Primary School. A passenger assistant is not required, so the service does not call for that additional staffing capability.
