## Summary

East Sussex County Council has concluded a procurement process for the provision of transport services, specifically for taxi and MPV (1-8 seats) passenger assistance, targeting the delivery route from BN23 6TG to Ropemakers Academy, BN27 1FB in the United Kingdom. The contract follows a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure intended for high-value tenders. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase as of 8 June 2026, with the contract set to commence on 15 June 2026 and conclude on 31 July 2028. Businesses interested in such tenders may note the classification under the transport services category and the requirement for an epilepsy-trained passenger assistant.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) offering specialised transport services. The contract's focus on epilepsy-trained passenger assistants signifies a niche market that SMEs with specific expertise in health-sensitive transport could exploit. The structured contract terms and sufficient contract duration of over two years offer stability and the potential for business scaling. Additionally, the tender's use of a selective procurement method ensures that only qualified suppliers with relevant experience can participate, providing an avenue for businesses with substantive expertise to compete effectively.
