## Summary

East Sussex County Council is conducting a public procurement process for taxi and MPV services, titled "Taxi and MPV (1-8 seats)" under the transport services industry (CPV code 60000000). The procurement is at the tender stage, with the process initiated as a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure above the threshold. The service is expected to operate within the United Kingdom, specifically covering routes from BN22 0DL to Pinetree Park, BN7 3NF, five days a week from 09:00 to 15:15. The tender was published on 7th May 2026, and interested suppliers must submit their tenders by 11th May 2026 at 11:00 BST. The contract period is set from 14th May 2026 to 31st July 2028.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of delivering transport services that can accommodate between 1 to 8 passengers. Given the sustained duration and frequency of the contract, businesses with a robust capacity to maintain service quality across extended periods would be well-suited for this opportunity. The absence of a need for passenger assistants if passengers are travelling alone may particularly appeal to service providers adept at managing flexible staffing requirements. It is an attractive opportunity for SMEs aiming to enhance their portfolios by securing long-term contracts with local government authorities.
