## Summary

East Sussex County Council has initiated a public procurement process for transport services, specifically taxis and MPVs with 1-8 seats, as part of their educational transport services. The contracting process is in the tender stage and falls under the industry category of transport services, excluding waste transport (CPV code: 60000000). The main routes for this service will connect various locations in East Sussex (TN35 4RQ, TN33 0PL, TN32 5AS) to The Flagship School (TN34 2AE), operating Monday to Friday from 08:50 to 14:30. Interested parties must note the key dates: the tender submission deadline is set for 24th June 2026, and the contract period will commence on 3rd September 2026 and conclude on 31st July 2029. The procurement method being used is a selective process, specifically a restricted procedure for projects above the financial threshold.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specializing in passenger transport services to expand their business within the public sector. As it offers a steady stream of transport work during school term times, firms that possess the required vehicle fleet in the specified area, coupled with the capacity to manage regular transport schedules, would find this contract beneficial for growth. Additionally, businesses with experience in providing reliable and timely school transport services will be well-placed to compete in this selective tendering process, ensuring compliance with the council's specifications and requirements.
