## Summary

East Sussex County Council has initiated a procurement process titled "Taxi and MPV (1-8 seats) Passenger Assistant." This contract opportunity falls under the transport services category and has a CPV classification of "Transport services (excl. Waste transport)" (ID: 60000000). The services are to be executed within the United Kingdom, specifically covering routes from BN25 3AN, BN25 3UF to Hazel Court FE, BN21 2XF. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a "selective" procurement method in place, specifically a restricted procedure for contracts above the threshold. Interested parties should note the tender period ends on 10th July 2026 at 10:00 AM, and the contract period is set from 4th September 2026 to 31st July 2029. This opportunity could be particularly appealing to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as they are considered suitable for this contract.

This tender offers a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in the provision of transport services, particularly those able to provide passenger assistance for taxis or multi-purpose vehicles. Companies with expertise in designing and implementing scheduled transport solutions for educational institutions, potentially operating during weekdays from morning to school end times, will find this tender appealing. Due to the selective procurement method and the contract's duration, businesses that are able to deliver consistent, reliable service levels over a three-year period stand to gain a stable influx of work, providing a solid revenue stream and potential for expansion in service offerings. SMEs that are well-organised and equipped with proper licensing and transport equipment would be well-suited to compete for this contract.
