## Summary

The procurement process pertains to the formal tendering for a shuttle bus service between Lewes Railway Station and the Joint Police and Fire Headquarters, organised by the East Sussex Fire Authority. This initiative, aimed at promoting green commuting plans, is classified under the transport services industry. The contract has an estimated total value of £150,000, with a minimum value of £75,000, and it has already been awarded to Community Transport for the Lewes Area Ltd. The contract period is set to commence on 1st November 2018 and will run until 31st October 2020. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, and the tender period closed on 24th September 2018.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those offering taxi and special-purpose road passenger-transport services. With the emphasis on promoting environmentally friendly commuting options, businesses that can facilitate reliable and efficient transport solutions tailored to the needs of emergency services staff would be well-suited to compete. The inclusive nature of the tender, which is open to SMEs and voluntary community sector enterprises, further enhances the potential for smaller enterprises to engage in public contracts and expand their service offerings.

## Notice

As part of an integrated transport strategy, and to support green commuting plans by encouraging as many staff as possible to travel by train to Lewes, it was decided to introduce a shuttle bus for a trial period, between the railway station and Headquarters during the peak morning and late afternoon travelling times. This service was also, made available to Police staff during the period of the trial. It has now been decided, to introduce this service formally, and as a result, we are tendering for a supplier to provide this service for both East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service and Sussex Police employees.
