This award demonstrates a defined requirement for regular school passenger transport on a route linking East Grinstead and Bexhill, procured by West Sussex County Council through its dynamic purchasing system. A credible future supplier would need to operate suitable taxi or passenger transport vehicles, provide reliable scheduled journeys and maintain sufficient capacity for a recurring school transport commitment. The requirement also points to the importance of managing weekly boarding movements and the associated passenger assistant arrangement. Smaller transport businesses are well placed to compete, since the council identified the opportunity as suitable for SMEs. Experience in school contracts, dependable driver cover, safeguarding and passenger care would strengthen a supplier’s position when a comparable requirement returns.
