## Summary

East Sussex County Council procured a school-day public bus service on the route from Little Common through Hooe, Catsfield and Battle to Claverham Community College. This is passenger transport for pupils, with the service restricted to school days. The named route and college define the requirement, and delivery is in East Sussex.

The procurement has been awarded. Renown Travel was selected, with an award date of 29 September 2026 and an awarded value of £197,837. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 20 April 2030. The council used a selective call-off from the SCC, ESCC and WSCC public bus Dynamic Purchasing System. The tender submission deadline was 16 September 2026 at 12:00. The procurement is recorded as complete. The published information does not set out evaluation criteria or explain how bids were assessed.

This award shows demand from East Sussex County Council for scheduled pupil transport linking communities with a local school. A credible competitor for this specific requirement would need to operate public bus services and have the capacity to serve the Little Common–Hooe–Catsfield–Battle–Claverham Community College route on school days. The procurement was a call-off from a public bus Dynamic Purchasing System, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need to be positioned to compete through that route. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were identified as suitable; the award to Renown Travel, itself an SME, demonstrates that an SME was selected for this contract.
